Implementation date was earlier than that when we had this in a tmp field; it has been checked for longer than this.
 
Implemented in ''Function Validate_PostalCode()'' and ''Function is_valid_postalcode''
* will reject empty field
* will reject invalid postal code (ie not PC Like "[A-X]#[A-Z]#[A-Z]#")
 
=== Declined portion of checks ===
Cross-checks of PC against [[Province]] were implemented at some point but then discontinued due to false positives. ''Function pc_province_match''. Comments in there:
' 2016-07-25
' it was decided long ago not to check this by the steering committee because
' it gave false positives.
' 2016-11-14 emailed team to find out if we should revisit
