CreateStreetCDF()
Summary
Creates a compact format address matchable street file.
Syntax
CreateStreetCDF(string lyr_set_name, string db_name, array options)
| Argument | Contents |
|---|---|
| lyr_set_name | The name of the layer or selection set to export |
| db_name | The name of the new geographic file |
| Option | Type | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| Label | String | Descriptive label for the new geographic file |
| Layer Name | String | The name of the new line layer |
| Node Name | String | The name of the new endpoint layer |
Notes
-
The layer exported must be a line layer, and must contain the following fields: Dir, Name, Class, Left ZIP, Right ZIP, Start Left, Start Right, End Left, End Right, Parity.
-
The ZIP fields must be numeric.
-
The Class field is assumed to be a string of the form "A##."
-
The parity field is numeric and is set to 1 if the address ranges are continuous and only on one side of the street, with mixed odd and even addresses.
-
When address matching using a Raima database, the Name field must be in upper case or matches will fail.
-
Address-matching works better on the Caliper Streets file because the street names are standardized.
Example
// Create an address matchable CDF file of all streets within 10 miles of coord x

CreateStreetCDF("Caliper Streets|Selection", "c:\\strtfile.cdf", {
{"Label", "Small Street File"},
{"Layer Name", "Local Streets"},
{"Node Name", "Endpoints"}
