IDENT2
This function works similarly to IDENT1 in that it formats alphanumeric data, removing special characters. The difference is that this function appends an issuer code (source identifier) to the number.
This function is often used with driver licenses and passports where you must add the state or country to the identifiers.

- The IDENT2 function adds the issuer source code to the ID number and works in the same way as IDENT1.
- The srchead value from mpi_srchead, followed by a ‘-‘ (dash) and the ID number, is added to the comparison string.
IDENT2 example:
An SSN value of 666-03-1899
with an issuer source SSA in mpi_srchead would be converted to
SSA-666031899.
