How to allow 11 digits phone number with VPHONE ruleset

Hi

I am using VPHONE ruleset to standardize USA phone numbers. But It is working fine for only 10 digits phine numbers. I need to handle the data when I receive the data like
1-800-934-6489
1800-934-6489

since it has more than 10 digits, invalid Phone is generating. Any suggestions are appreciated

~Thanks

You'll have to get into the PAT file to have a proper go at this one.
You could try an input pattern override, but it would be too loose.

It's not just 11-digit numbers, but specific ranges of them that you would want to let through, excluding all others.

There will be a feature in an upcoming version that from memory should let you do close to this level of override without needing the dig into the PAT file.

Another option is to use the transformer before the standardize stage to strip leading 1- and 1....

Yes, I handled this in transformer stage.
