StyleList Known Issues


Phone data type

Input phone patterns with slashes do not process correctly. The Output phone is left unchanged.
 

Company data type:

4 letter last names are returned UPPER cased, like they’re acronyms. These are words not in either Company lookup table, which may be present in a company ( i.e. A law firm ‘Brown, Best & Byle LLC’ returns ‘Brown, Best & BYLE, LLC’.


CSZ data type:

Cities which are also a State get abbreviated when processing City State Zip data.

Ex. Washington, GA à Wa, Ga

Washington, Georgia à Washington, Georgia


Name data type:

Punctuation does not get added to a middle initial ‘O’ ( ‘O’ gets a special treatment in processing in its attempt to recognize ‘Irish’ formatted last names ).

Ex. John N Smith à John N. Smith

John O Smith à John O Smith
 

Add Punctuation:

Does not work if you choose ‘No casing’ ( the casing option overrides the add punctuation option ).

Ex. DR SMITHà DR SMITH

Dr. Smithà Dr. Smith
 

CSZ data type:

The “New York” in “Anytown, New York 11111” does not get abbreviated for a target size 22, but “Anytown, Georgia 11111” does.


Expand: Address data type:

A street address entry with an ampersand causes one of the few words which have a 'start / end' flag in the lookup table to get processed incorrectly. Start / End means that it is a word which has a different expansion for its location. St at the start of an address field is more likely to be 'Saint', at the end 'Street'.

Ex. 21st. & St. Louis St. à 21st Street Louis Street

2 St. Louis St. à 2 St Louis Street


Analyze:

If you are sitting on the last record, and you select either of the ‘Next’ edit buttons, the program will crash.
 

Tools:

IF you select ‘Any Field’ on the ‘Locate Again’ tool, the program will crash.
