Create two address locators with different zone values using the same reference data

Summary

Instructions provided describe how to create multiple address locators with different zone values using the same reference data.

Procedure

1. Copy and paste the file 'US Streets with Zone (GDB).lot' in <ArcGIS_install_location>\Locators folder to make a copy of it. Rename the copy to another name such as 'US Streets with City (GDB).lot'.
2. Open 'US Streets with City (GDB).lot' in a text editor such as Notepad.
3. Replace the following line:
   
   

   Code:
   RD.IdxTable1.Prefix    = GC_SZS

   
   with
   
   

   Code:
   RD.IdxTable1.Prefix    = GC_SZC

   
   Save the file.
4. Start ArcCatalog and create the two address locators using the 'US Streets
   with Zone (GDB).lot' and 'US Streets with City (GDB).lot' styles.
   
   ArcCatalog creates two indexes tables, one with ZIP and one with City, as the zone fields.
5. Create a composite locator for the multiple locators.
