Code Description
5.1.4 Error Messages for Output Geocoded Addresses
Concepts for Geocoding
11 The postal code matches the data used for geocoding, but the city name does not
match.
For an output geocoded address, the ErrorMessage attribute of the SDO_GEO_
ADDR object (described in Section 5.2.1) contains a string that indicates which
address attributes have been matched against the data used for geocoding. Before
the geocoding operation begins, the string is set to the value ???????????281C??;
and the value is modified to reflect which attributes have been matched.
Table 5–4 lists the character positions in the string and the address attribute
corresponding to each position. It also lists the character value that the position is
set to if the attribute is matched.
