What is a False-Positive?

To prevent the generation of address lists, the DPV and LACS^Link databases include false-positive records. False-positive records are artificially manufactured addresses that reside in a false-positive table. For each negative response that occurs in a DPV or LACS^Link query, a query is made to the false-positive table. A match to this table (called a false-positive match) disables your DPV or LACS^Link key. In batch processing the job that contains the violation will complete successfully but you will not be able to run any subsequent jobs that use DPV or LACS^Link until you report the violation and obtain a key to reactivate DPV or LACS^Link.
