PCCF + version 3G user's guide (Geocodes/PCCF) : automated geographic coding based on the Statistics Canada postal code conversion files including postal codes to June 2001 / by Russell Wilkins. : CS82-0086/2001E-PDF

"PCCF+ (Géocodes/PCCF) Version 3 consists of a SAS control program and a series of reference files derived from the most recent Statistics Canada Postal Code Conversion File (PCCF) and the June 1996 Weighted Conversion File (WCF). It automatically assigns a full range of geographic identifiers (down to enumeration area and latitude, longitude) based on postal codes. It is consistent and logical in the way it does this. Any incorrect coding due to errors in the underlying reference files can easily be corrected once identified. To do such coding by manual methods would require highly skilled coders with much time and access to the full mailing address or property description. Even so, the results of manual coding would tend to be less accurate (particularly in urban areas), and they could inadvertently introduce systematic bias (especially in rural areas)"--Abstract.
