Record Layout
| Field | Type | Length | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| City Name | Variable length | 30 maximum | ||
| Province Code | Fixed length | 2 | ||
| Postal CodeOM | Fixed length | 6 alphanumeric characters, plus embedded space | ||
| Preferred? | Fixed length | 1 ("P", or "A") | ||
| Area Code | Fixed length | 3 numeric characters | ||
| Time zone | Fixed length | 5 ("NST", "EST", "EST+1", "CST", "MST", "PST") | ||
| DST | Fixed length | 1 ("Y" or "N") |
The City Name field identifies the city associated with that Postal CodeOM. There may be several different city names associated with a particular Postal CodeOM. If so, the same Postal CodeOM will appear in several different records, each with a different city name. You can use the Preferred? field to find the best city name to use with the Postal CodeOM in this case. City names include special French characters where appropriate.
The Postal CodeOM field contains only valid 6-character Canadian Postal CodeOMs currently defined by Canada Post Corporation (CPC). Obsolete Postal CodeOMs which have been "retired" from service by CPC are not included in this database. A particular Postal CodeOM may appear in more than one record if the Postal CodeOM crosses the boundary between two cities.
The Preferred? flag can have one of two states, which indicate whether or not the Postal CodeOM exists in more than one city (very few do), and which of those city names is the best to use with this Postal CodeOM. The two states are:
- P - This record contains the primary city name for this Postal CodeOM
- A - This record contains an alternate city name for this Postal CodeOM
The area code is the "most prevalent" area code for that one Postal CodeOM. If multiple area codes apply to that one Postal CodeOM, only the primary area code is listed. Overlay area codes are not listed.
The time zone field always contains the standard time zone designation for a particular Postal CodeOM. If that Postal CodeOM falls within a political entity which participates in daylight saving time (DST) during the summer months, the DST field is set to "Y". Otherwise the DST field is set to "N".
