Standardize ordinal number suffixes for street names to use the full word

Summary

The instructions provided describe how to standardize numbered streets to use the full word instead of the default ordinal number when geocoding addresses. For example, instead of using 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, these can be changed to use First, Second, Third, Fourth, etc.

Note:
This article only applies to address locators created prior to version 10.0, which can still be used in version 10.0 and later.

Procedure

1. Open us_addr.cls in WordPad.
2. Locate the ordinal numbers to be changed, for example, FIRST.
   
   

   Code:
   FIRST             1ST           O
   TWENTIETH         20TH          O
   SECOND            2ND           O
   THIRTIETH         30TH          O
   THIRD             3RD           O

   
   
3. Change the second column to the full word, if the data is to be standardized as the full word.
   
   

   Code:
   FIRST             FIRST         O
   TWENTIETH         20TH          O
   SECOND            SECOND        O
   THIRTIETH         30TH          O
   THIRD             THIRD         O

   
   
4. Click File > Save when done editing the us_addr.cls file.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 when modifying the us_intsc.cls file.
