AO Business Keyword Parser

Overview

Advanced Object (AO) Business Keyword Parser takes a business name as input and uses a user-defined table of values to generate two separate fields for matching purposes. There are two inputs: the data input stream, and the look-up table used for parsing and standardization (K input). The macro produces a single output containing two fields:

• Business_Main: the significant part of Firm Name (for example, National Insurance Company of Ohio).

• Business_Keyword: is the qualifying part of Firm Name (for example, National Insurance Company of Ohio).

See the Repository Samples folder for an example of AO Business Keyword Parser in use.
