The Special Characters Reference File (bizRemoveSpecChars.dat)

The special characters reference file lists certain characters that should be removed from a business name prior to processing the field, which typically include punctuation marks such as exclamation points, parenthesis, and so on. This enables the Sun Match Engine to recognize the business name.

This file contains one column that lists the characters to be removed from the business names you process. You can add entries as needed. Below is an excerpt from the bizRemoveSpecChars.dat file.
