==Result Code Use==
Melissa Data's products use a result code system to indicate data quality; the status and any errors. These result codes are four-character codes (two letters followed by two numbers), delimited by commas. Result code definitions are shared among Melissa Data products.

===Example===
An example returned result code string:

<pre>AC01,AE10</pre>

Instead of looking at multiple properties and methods to determine status, you can look at the output of the results parameter.

From this output you can determine that the address is:

{|class="alternate01" cellspacing="0"
!Code
!Short Description
!Long Description
|-
|AC01
|Postal Code Change
|The postal code was changed or added.
|-
|AE10
|Premise Number Invalid
|The premise (house or building) number for the address is not valid.
|}

Be sure to reference [[Result Code Details]] for a list of Melissa Data's result codes.
