for 2 distinct address shown. Ideally it should show two different codes as both are distinct values .

From the ASE documentation at: infocenter.sybase.com

Adaptive Server Enterprise 15.5
> Transact-SQL User's Guide
> Using the Built-In Functions in Queries
> String functions used for character strings or expressions
> Examples of using string functions

Code:
The soundex function converts a character string to a four-digit code for use in a comparison.
It ignores vowels in the comparison.
Nonalphabetic characters terminate the soundex evaluation.
This function always returns some value.

There's no additional information regarding soundex function in higher ASE versions.
So looks like you are out of luck here.
The soundex implementation in Sybase apparently works only on strings that contain characters from the alphabet; not on strings that contain numbers/digits.

DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::ASE::NoBindVars(3)	User Contributed Perl Documentation  DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::ASE::NoBindVars(3)

NAME
DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Sybase::ASE::NoBindVars - Storage::DBI subclass for Sybase ASE without placeholder support DESCRIPTION
If you're using this driver then your version of Sybase or the libraries you use to connect to it do not support placeholders. You can also enable this driver explicitly using: my $schema = SchemaClass->clone; $schema->storage_type('::DBI::Sybase::ASE::NoBindVars'); $schema->connect($dsn, $user, $pass, \%opts); See the discussion in "Using ? Placeholders & bind parameters to $sth->execute" in DBD::Sybase for details on the pros and cons of using placeholders. One advantage of not using placeholders is that "select @@identity" will work for obtaining the last insert id of an "IDENTITY" column, instead of having to do "select max(col)" in a transaction as the base Sybase driver does. When using this driver, bind variables will be interpolated (properly quoted of course) into the SQL query itself, without using placeholders. The caching of prepared statements is also explicitly disabled, as the interpolation renders it useless. AUTHORS
