4 AddressBase Premium CSV: issue relating to loading Area of
Interest (AOI) non geographic data.
An issue exists in the non-geographic supply of AddressBase Premium CSV. This issue
affects the usability of the Header and Trailer records when loading AOI data into some
software.
Note: This issue does not affect the managed GB set of AddressBase Premium CSV.
The issue found causes the “VOLUME_NUMBER” in the Header record and the “NEXT_
VOLUME_NUMBER” in the Trailer record to lose its sequence between records 1 and 4.
Please see the table below for an example (Correct numbers are shown in Red):
