7.2.2 Stop Validation (VA) Request and Response
The following are field parameters for stop and (for PC*MILER|Streets
users) street address validation. A stop can be a city/state pair separated
by a comma, a ZIP code, a latitude/longitude point or (with optional add-
on modules) a Canadian Postal code or SPLC (Standard Position
Location Codes). PC*MILER|Streets users may include street addresses.
Validation requests are important because error reporting in mileage
requests is limited to the first two stops of a trip. If your bad stop is lower
in the list of stops, you will not be told which is the nonvalid stop, you will
get a generic “Can’t Run Trip” message. The VA request type can be
used to produce lists of potential matches to partial spellings or ZIP
codes.
