QS Classification Question

[ejazsalim]

Hello QualityStage Guru's
can I have multiple words classified for standardization.

eg : "PAID ON DEATH" standardized to "POD"
Right now I am doing it through the PATTERN file and was wondering if I could do it with the CLS file.

I don't believe you can do this using classification tables. It doesn't make sense to 'standardise' multiple tokens into a single classification. A combination of multiple tokens is a pattern, which you are quite rightly processing in your PAT file. It shouldn't be a big deal anyway as you can execute the example you gave using a simple three line pattern.

Hope this helps,
John.
