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):

.csv File / Volume Number / Next Volume Number
AddressBasePremium_FULL_2013-03-04_001.csv / 1 / 0 - It should be 2
AddressBasePremium_FULL_2013-03-04_002.csv / 4 - It should be 2 / 5 - It should be 3
AddressBasePremium_FULL_2013-03-04_003.csv / 5 - It should be 3 / 6 - It should be 4
