Tools | User Settings: Default Output Structure: Fixed a crash when
user tried to add fields.
Matchcode Editor now checks Advanced Combination expressions to
ensure that they don't become invalid when the matchcode is modified
in certain ways.
Matchcode Editor can no longer be closed with the [X] button, as
this led to unsaved changes.
If the user loaded a setup having a matchcode with the same name as
one in the Matchcode Database (but different components), adding the
matchcode with a different name didn't work properly.
Tools | User Settings: Default CASS Fields: Added default Error and
Status fields.

CASS Update August 2006.
Merge/Purge with CASS Setup: Improved CASS field guessing when
selecting fields from the Output Field Mapping screen.
Processing: In certain rare situations, files using the Input
Matchcode field weren't being processed correctly.
Processing: Phone numbers such as 999-999-9999 and 000-000-0000 are
now intrepreted as blank.
Street Splitting: Some 'fractions' should not be treated as such.
For example "123 State Route 28/18".
Street Splitting: ".5 Main Street" wasn't being split properly.
6/30/06 Release 3.018
Setup: Fixed unusual crash (cBitmap error) with one user where his
column sizes would go totally out of wack from time to time.
SQL Server: Updates of data with an embedded single quote resulted
in a crash.
Batch Processing: Sometimes MatchUp would get confused if you
launched program from a different drive or directory.
Code Pages: Fixed a crash that was introduced in version 3.017
having to do with loading the default translation table.
Reports were missing the CTRL+O shortcut for Auto-Size All Columns.
Setup: The CTRL+R (Repeat for all sources) command wasn't working
correctly for the "Source Code Size" field on the Advanced tab.
6/9/06 Release 3.017
CASS Update June 2006.
Expression Evaluation: "" $ "ABC" was returning true, it should be
false.
Finally got rid of the rare 'mystery menu' that would appear on some
Windows XP dialog boxes.
ASCII Importer: Importer would crash if there was an embedded
carriage return at the start of a field. Also changed the behavior
of odd-delimited (not tab or comma) delimited importing to mimic tab
delimited importing rather than comma.
Setup: Input Tables: Drag and drop of an Access or Excel table would
result in an error if ADO was being used.
Multi-Buyer Field: You are now warned if you are using the Input
Source Code for generation of this field, as this triggers Source
Code reporting.
Source Code Reporting: Introduced a 1000 code limit, after which,
matrices are not produced (Source Code (Source Code List, File
Summary and Multiples are still produced, however). You can adjust
this limit by adding a "SourceCodeLimit=" entry in the [General]
section of the dt.ini file.
Matchcodes: Tweaked behavior of Fast Near matching, especially with
short strings.
Matchcodes: Containment matching sometimes didn't consider the very
last character of the shorter string in the comparison (ie, "Kim"
would be contained in "Kid").
Processing: Fixed a random crash that had been very difficult to
isolate.
Analyze | Edit: Fixed a crash when trying to sort a process having
an extremely complex matchcode.
Street Splitter: Sloppy addresses such as "15-1/2 Main St" now get a
correct street number of "15.5".
Street Splitter: Secondaries such as "Apt 15-58" are now converted
into "1558" for the purposes of deduping.
Street Splitter: Improved the handling of bad addresses such as "15
Main St-18".
Street Splitter: Added several MLK variations, BL (Boulevard or
Building) and TE (Terrace).
Processing: The specified Translation Table wasn't always getting
loaded (default table used instead).
Processing: Custom rank expressions were being right-justified
rather than left.
Name Splitter: Ampersands (&) are now handled better.
CASS: EWS status flags were not always reported for some records.
Documentation: Printing several topics would sometimes result in all
topics being printed on the same page.
3/31/06 Release 3.016
CASS Update April 2006.
3/20/06 Release 3.015
Tools | Browse: File-based Search & Replace would hang if "Any
Occurrence" was selected.
Tools | Browse: CTRL+T (Toggle Delete) didn't always tag the correct
record.
Added a keyboard shortcut (CTRL+O) for Column | Auto-Size All
Columns.
Added "Henry" and "Hank" to Nickname table.
Setup | Open: If there were missing ASCII file(s), the "Relocate all
files to" button didn't work properly.
Setup | Edit: Upon exit, the user is now warned about missing field
mappings and/or possibly truncated fields (you can turn these
warnings off if desired).
Processing: If outputting data to an Output Matchcode field; if the
field was larger than the matchcode key, extra 'garbage' would
appear at the end.
Street Splitter: Addresses with decimals were losing their decimal
point.
Processing: The Multi-Buyer Count field was not always calculated
properly when the third method was used.
Street Splitter: Splitting of "Farm to Market" (FM) addresses is now
handled better.
Street Splitter: Addresses like "268 Hwy 202/31" are now split
properly.
Street Splitter: Certain street addresses with slashes are now
handled better (as in "300 Oak St/PO Box 12").
The "7 days left" CASS warning will now go away on its own after 30
seconds (this was a problem with hands-off batch processes).
Processing: ASCII delimited files will now give you a more accurate
progress indication in the bottom-left meter (but it is still an
estimate).
2/16/06 Release 3.014
CASS Update February 2006.
1/31/06 Release 3.013
SDF Files over 4 Gigabytes are now handled properly.
Processing: Sometimes output SDF files would cause a crash.
Access/Excel: DAO now adds a "dt_rec_id" auto-numbering field to
output table structures. This is to better ensure that merge/purge
processes will not crash and process faster. Once processing is
done, you can remove that field using Access or Excel. This field
has been present in ADO processing since version 3.009.
Street Splitter: "816 W North Loop Rd", "3750 I 55 N", "876 FM 365
Rd", "15 FM 18", "56 E Loop 281", and "540 S Interstate 36 E" are
now split properly.
Merge/Purge: Validate Zip matchcodes now better handle addresses
having both a street address and PO Box.
Processing: Blank (null) dates are now posted to Access and Excel
properly.
Windows XP: Fixed a few display anomalies (mainly the tool bar).
FoxPro files with null fields are now handled better.
Added "Chuck", "Chucky" and "Chuckie" to Nickname table.
Analyze | Report: Template files (.tpl) containing percent signs (%)
not associated with a macro are now printed properly.

Word document.
Processing: MatchUp would crash if you tried to overwrite a
read-only file.
Processing: ASCII output files are now processed faster.
Analyze | Edit: Fixed a crash that occurred when entering or exiting
the analyzer (very rare).
Processing: Leading and trailing spaces in an e-mail's user name are
now stripped.
12/14/05 Release 3.012
CASS Update December 2005.
The Val() function would return 0 if the specified string started
with one or more spaces.
The expression <Date> - <Date> now evaluates to the number of days
between the two specified dates.
The Str() and Transform() functions had problems with certain
parameter combinations.
Processing: The Use Zip Index option will only be used for
dBase/FoxPro files.
Processing: Alphabetic PO Boxes like "PO Box AVG" are more likely to
be split properly now.
Processing: Custom Input Address lines (ie, dBase expressions) will
now be processed correctly.
Analyze | Report: Added the Multi-Buyer count to the File Summary.
Setup: Added the Multi-Buyer Count field.
Processing: "12 Avenue 29" is now split properly.
Processing: Some work was done to make ADO processing (Access and
Excel) more stable. Also, see Frequently Asked Questions if you are
having problems processing these types of tables.
Processing: If you Pause a process and then click Cancel, you needed
to Unpause before the window could close.
Processing: Matchcodes having a large key size (over 250 characters)
could cause a crash. NOTE: Matchcodes having a large key size are
usually a sign of a poorly designed matchcode.
Processing: The phonetex representation of "P" (just the single
letter) was incorrect.
Matchcode Editor: Fixed a refresh anomaly when working with a
matchcode having a single component.
Analyze | Edit | Sort: Made the drag and drop instructions more
obvious.
Processing: "85 State Road" wasn't being split properly.
Windows XP: Screen positions weren't being remembered when a window
was displayed on a second monitor.
10/18/05 Release 3.011
CASS Update October 2005.
Documentation: Added a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) topic to
address frequently asked questions.
Setup: Output Field Mapping wasn't allowing conversions to the
Gender output type.
Processing: "100 Saint Mary's St" now matches "100 St Mary's St"
Processing: If you elected to Merge files to an ASCII output table,
the program could crash.
Analyze | Report: Dupe Matrix and Quality Matrix counts were not
always correct with regard to Intersection and Suppression files.
Processing: When working with ASCII output files, there would be a
double "Done" dialog box.
Processing: Canadian addresses such as "101-38 Main St" should match
"38 Main St Apt 101". In the US, the same address would match "101
Main St Apt 38".
Analyze | Edit: Rarely, the first record displayed in a dupe group
was not the output record.
Analyze | Edit: There was often a rather long delay when the window
was first opened (associated with CASS).
Processing: Inferred matching (A=B, B=C, so A=C) has been improved
so that: (a) Inferences are detected between differing file types
(suppression, regular, etc), (b) Inferences are detected regardless
of record ranking, and (c) The correct output record is selected.
Processing: Before processing, the Setup Inspector would sometimes
warn you about potential problems that weren't relevant.
8/15/05 Release 3.010
CASS Update August 2005.
Setup: Added secondary ranking condition when user specifies that
he/she will be assigning a rank. When two or more matching records
have the same rank, the criteria will be used to break the tie.
Processing: Processing with a very wide rank field (over 200) would
sometimes cause a crash.
Analyze | Edit: Added an overview to the right of the vertical
scroll bar, which gives you an overall view of the process's dupe
groups. It can be turned off through Options | Overview.
Analyze | Report: Added multi-buyer reports. This fairly extensive
set of reports is documented in Analyze and Report | View Reports.
Analyze | Report: The tabbed dialog has been replaced with an
expanding tree view. The number of reports was making the tabbed
dialog difficult to navigate.
Analyze | Report: Reorganized the Settings dialog.
Analyze | Report: The Multiple Counts (1x, 2x, etc) have been moved
from the File Summary to their own report page.
Analyze | Report: Excel, Word and Template reports have been
standardized so that each format shows the same information in the
same format (or as close as possible).
Analyze | Report: Intra- and Inter- table statistics are now
presented on the File Summary.
Analyze | Report: Added source code decoding. This allows you to
specify a lookup table that will be used to describe source codes in
your reports.
Documentation: Cleaned up Analyze and Report | View Reports | Report
Templates.
ASCII Processing: If you are using the 1st record as field names,
the processor will no longer process this record as if it were real
data.
ASCII Export: If exporting the table's field names as the first
record, the field names will be surrounded with double quotes
following the selected ASCII quote standard.
The File Viewer and Field List windows no longer try to hide under
MatchUp's main window when you set the focus back to the setup
screen.
Processing: Before processing, the Setup Inspector will ensure that
you have an Output Table if you are scattering and/or gathering.
Processing: Leading and trailing semicolons were sometimes stripped
from incoming data.
6/30/05 Release 3.009
Merge/Purge: Secondaries such as "Apt-18", "Apt 18GF", "Apt 18 GF",
"Apt GF 18" are now handled better.
Analyze | Report: Tweaked the Processing Summary template (the one
that's not Excel or Word) ever so slightly to show records
processed.
Analyze | Edit: Locating a row (by contents of key) was not going to
the correct row if an alternate sort or show/hide filter was in
effect.
Merge/Purge: Output file would sometimes gather from a mapped field
even when "Gather" was not checked for that input field (and checked
for the output field).
Matchcode Editor: Components that will be used in determining
clusters are displayed with a light green background. This knowledge
can be used to build more optimal matchcodes. See Concepts for more
information on clustering and Optimizing Matchcodes for optimization
information.
Access & Excel: Replaced data access technology. Previously, DAO was
used, which had problems with some tables. Microsoft's newer ADO
technology is now used, which should be more reliable in some cases.
Use Tools | User Settings | General: Interface to select between DAO
and ADO.
Matchcode Editor: When editing a setup's matchcode, MatchUp will
re-map fields (Matchcode Mapping tab) only when necessary.
Previously, it would do this even if the changes had no impact on
field mapping.
Matchcode Editor: A warning is presented on the General tab if
changes made in the Matchcode Editor have forced MatchUp to re-map
fields.
Matchcode Editor: The Swap Match dialog will use component labels if
they are available.
ASCII Importer: In rare situations, it would incorrectly
over-estimate a field size for a delimited file.
Demo: Gathering will be performed for the first 100 records.
Demo: Now produces 100 output records instead of 102.
5/27/05 Release 3.008
CASS Update June 2005.
Form 3553: Some of the "To" dates were not always correct.
5/25/05 Release 3.007
Full Name Splitter: "Charles O. Leary" was winding up with a Last
Name of "Oleary" instead of a Middle Initial of "O" and a Last Name
of "Leary". This problem was specific to O' names that could appear
with or without the O' prefix.
Government Name Splitter: Names with suffixes like "Public, Dr John
Q. MD" are now split correctly.
Added extra checking so that if a wise-guy user decides to look at a
table in another application during processing, MatchUp will report
an error rather than crashing.
Right-click menus have been improved in many areas.
Tools | Browse: CTRL+C/V/X now work even if you're not in edit mode.
Matchcodes: State processing has been enhanced to convert full
spellings to the 2-letter abbreviation, as well as fix common
Canadian problems ("QC" and "PQ").
Matchcodes: The "Stop at Word" would sometimes stop one word too
soon.
ASCII Importer: Tab delimited files containing fields with embedded
tabs were hanging the program.
Installer: When the CASS update (or in-line update) overwrites a
file that could have been user-modified, a backup of the file is
made (same name with a .bak extension).
Delimited file process has been sped up in certain circumstances.
Swap Matching has been improved in the Half Swap configuration.
The CASS driver was sometimes conflicting with some Melissa Data
products.
More Case Studies have been added to the electronic documentation.
Additionally, several of these case studies have setups and tables
that are included in the installation.
ODBC: Longer connection strings are now allowed. The original size
(128) sometimes caused crashes.
Processing: Full names such as "Mr.Johnson" (with a period but no
space between the "Mr" and "Johnson") weren't being split properly.
Matchcodes: "Start at Position" is now performed before SoundEx,
Phonetex, Consonants Only, Numerics Only, Vowels Only and Alphas
Only. For example, if "Start at Position" was 2 with "Consonants
Only", "Ableson" would use "lsn" rather than "blsn".
The "Doubly Mapped" list box in the Check Mapping dialog wasn't
resetting itself when the user moved from one input table to the
next.
In Self Purge versus Intersection processing, the Multi-Buyer field
wasn't populated correctly.
In No Purge versus Intersection processing, gathering was only being
performed on the first match and none of the subsequent matching
records.
When producing the Table Name, the Output Source Code was
right-justifying the table name (should have been left-justified).
Added Luhn() to the expression editor (calculates the LUHN MOD-10
checksum).
4/8/05 Release 3.006
ODBC: Merge/Purge would crash when outputting an ODBC table with a
numeric field having a size the same as or smaller than the incoming
data.
ODBC: Floating point fields weren't being created.
Matchcodes: Containment matching would sometimes hang the program.
Matchcodes: E-Mail addresses sometimes weren't converted to upper
case.
Matchcode Editor: Optimize would sometimes be a bit aggressive in
optimization, removing combinations that were really necessary.
CASS: Setup would sometimes forget your Input Company setting.
CASS: Latitude and Longitude fields can now be numeric types (but
must be created ahead of time).
Tools | ASCII Conversion | Import from ASCII: The "Manually Enter"
option would sometimes crash.
Tools | ASCII Conversion | Import from ASCII: The "Inherit
Structure" option would sometimes crash.
Expression Evaluator: Typos in function names after the 4th position
could be misinterpreted (for example, ReccNo() would be mistaken for
Recc()).
Street Splitter: Added pattern for addresses such as "123 S Loop 384
E".
Analyze | Edit: Now displays a warning that the O/D/S button will
have limited ability when working with read-only and/or ASCII files.
Certain windows would not restore properly from the task bar (rare).
Improved the progress meters' display when processing extremely
large tables.
Tools | User Settings: General: Auto-Update would get stuck asking
whether or not you want to exit.
Synchronization problems associated with the setup's matchcode are
no longer brought to your attention when batch processing.
Analyze | View Reports: Print: the Processing Summary now displays
the Start position of matchcode components.
Help | Test ODBC Connection would crash the program if the user
canceled.
Input Tables: Re-worded the "Table is Read-Only" message to more
accurately describe the reason (is it read-only or is it ASCII?).
Matchcodes: Custom and General weren't being converted to upper-case
during processing.
Matchcodes: An input Data Type of Custom wasn't always getting
evaluated properly (particularly if it contained lower-case
letters).
When selecting an input table, if you selected an incorrect type (ie,
a .dbf on an the ASCII tab), the program would crash when you hit
OK.
Fixed several broken links to the help file.
Fixed Elapsed Time and Estimated Completion Time on processing
dialogs. The merge/purge estimate was sometimes inaccurate.
3/10/05 Release 3.005
Matchcode Editor: Swap Matching: Added either/both option to better
control whether or not a swap should be considered valid.
Quality Matrix counts weren't accurate when the counts came from
Suppression or Intersection tables.
Scatter to Alternate Field didn't work in some cases.
Gather: First Data not always working correctly.
Gather: Minimum and Gather: Maximum worked backwards for character
fields.
Name Splitter: Hyphenated names now split properly ("Barbara Smith-Royes").
Added 72 new entries to Street Split table (dtstreet.dbf). Some new
secondaries as well as several Canadian entries.
Street Splitter: "1 2 Upton Park" is now converted into "1/2 Upton
Park"
Multibuyer field - 'suppress repeated' didn't work when the format
was comma-delimited.
Multibuyer field wasn't getting populated properly when the
information was coming from an Input Source Code field.
Analyze | Edit Hovering the mouse over a Matchcode Key cell will now
give you the CASS error as well as the street split pattern.
Analyze | Edit Hovering the mouse over a Matchcode Hit cell will now
give you a more verbal description of the hit combination(s).
ASCII Delimited files containing embedded single quotes (technically
not correct) were causing the importer to hang. They are now handled
properly.
If you exited a dialog that had "<Building List>" displayed in a
Font List (combo box), you would crash the program.
PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN were being allowed when adding fields in
certain locations.
If you pressed CTRL+R immediately after entering an invalid dBASE
expression, you'd wind up in an endless loop.
If your setup contained an ASCII file and you had since removed the
.sdx file, you are now prompted for action (rather than a crash).
Matchcodes: Start at Position and Start from Right would trim the
rightmost character.
Output Field Mapping: Gathering would sometimes 'forget' that you
had turned a gathering method off.
Analyze | Edit crashed if any of the output tables were ASCII.
Matchcode Editor: Advanced Combination Settings: Added either/both
option to better control when a combination should be used.
Special Zip Code formatting (2/2/5) adjusted; blank entries don't
get any 0's.
Analyze | Edit: Show/Hide Added Any/All/Exact to Matchcode Hit
Combinations.
2/2/05 Release 3.004
Added Latitude and Longitude lookup to the CASS processor.
Zip Code formatting has been improved: if the incoming Zip is less
than 5 numbers, it is left-padded with 0's. This is particularly
useful when working with Excel tables, as Excel is obsessed with
making Zip Codes numeric fields.
Phone formatting has been improved. Like Zip above, Excel often will
make phone numbers numeric, and the .0000 that would appear at the
end of the phone number was not desired.
Analyze | Edit | Print: When printing to Excel, only one record
would come out if you had elected to use no group separator.
Adding over 5-10 Excel tables would sometimes cause a crash.
Several enhancements have been made to the street splitter,
particularly in the area of highway addresses ("123 Route 28 South")
and oddball Rural Route addresses.
CASS expiration date now correctly shows 2/28/2005 instead of
2/8/2005.
Analyze | Edit: If you analyzed a setup, then edited the setup and
added a source, the analyzer would not display the new source (you
had to reset the display).
Gathering: Stacking Date and Numeric values has been fixed.
Gathering Earliest or Latest Dates has been fixed.
Using SoundEx or Phonetex in a matchcode would cause missed matches
if the values being compared were numeric (particularly noticeable
if Phonetexing a Street Name ("12 4th Ave").
UK Postcode formatted has been improved to better handle the Royal
Post Postcode system.
Auto Update: Cleaned up the progress meters.
Matchcode Editor: If you removed the last matchcode, you would get
an Unhandled Exception.
Wording on Multi-Buyer Format window has been added to clarify some
of the formats.
Auto-Update now gives you this revision history when MatchUp is
restarted.
When evaluating date values, the = operator wouldn't evaluate
correctly if one of the date values had an hh:mm:ss value and the
other didn't.
Tools | User Settings: CASS: Options: The automatic Zip+4 lookup
would crash while you were entering an address if the CASS database
was out of date.
1/17/05 Release 3.003
Analyze | Edit: When running the demo, if the user tried to view a
record that would have normally been output (but isn't because he's
running the demo), the program would crash.
Running the Demo with gathering caused a crash in some cases.
Auto-Update was sometimes crashing if firewall was present and
blocking MatchUp.
Help | About: Running with CASS Demo displayed a cryptic "ack"
message instead of MatchUp's build date.
Swap Matching: The Match if both fields are blank option was handled
improperly.
Swap Matching: Order of incoming records (ie, prioritization) now
has no impact on whether or not a swap match will be found, even if
combination X's are improperly set.
Excel & Access: Output empty dates to these formats caused a crash.
Installation: File dates & times are now preserved from what is
stamped on the CD to ensure that the Auto-Update feature can
properly assess whether or not a file should be replaced.
1/7/05 Release 3.002
The Demo version of the program was sometimes crashing when
processing databases under 100 records.
Analyze | Edit: The O, D, and S override buttons now perform
complete transactions. Previously, if the user had told DT to mark a
record for deletion, the D button would not do so. A similar problem
existed for Status Code fields.
Access & Excel: Character Type fields sized at exactly 255 caused
problems when processing.
Setup: Output Field Mapping: An output field's size would sometimes
change to 10 while editing an output field.
12/30/04 Release 3.001
Fixed automatic Zip+4 lookup of Mailing Company's address in Tools |
User Settings: Setup: CASS: Options.
CASS Processing: The Clear the Input Plus 4 field and Clear the
Input Carrier Route field options now behave properly when no CASS
match is found.
CASS Processing: Very rarely, output Zip+4 field would not be
cleared if the input contained a Zip+4 (but now the address no
longer coded).
Merge/Purge Processing: Last cluster of records would sometimes not
detect all duplicates.
Analyze | Sort Rows would sometimes display an incomplete list of
matchcode components.
Merge/Purge Processing: Added some logic so that short matching
situations such as "Bob"="B"="Bill" would no longer occur.
Merge/Purge Processing: With the phone processor, extract <n>
characters from right wasn't working all the time.
UK Version: Corrected language: "Postcode", not "Post Code".
Added the Advanced: dBASE Emulation option under Tools | User
Settings: General: Interface.
Setup: In Check Mapping, DT3 reports any fields that have been
mapped more than once (because sometimes people make mistakes).
Setup: The Field List Drag & Drop window now shows already mapped
fields in cyan, so that users can better recognize unmapped fields.
Lookup Tables: Changed expansion of "Via" to "Via" rather than
"Viaduct", as it can have a different meaning in Puerto Rico.
Excel: Some Field Types and Field Names caused a crash when an Excel
output table was being created.
Tools | Modify Structure: Databases contained packed binary
character fields would lose this information.
