PC*MILER-AS/400 MVS User’s Guide 34
NOTE: The PCMVS or the PCMTL command contacts the mileage server to
read the data that the mileage server is using. If the PCMVS or the PCMTL
command doesn’t respond or the PC*MILER screen comes up with ”PC DOWN”
in the screen title, there is a problem with the connection to the mileage server
PC.
At the top of the main entry screen are several control settings. These include:
PC*MILER Version: The Initial Version will be read from the startup
parameters (mvsfig or mtlfig to set). To change versions, type in the 3- character
code for that version or press F1 to get a list of available versions. Every time F1
is pressed, the list of available versions is refreshed.
NOTE: The requirements for commas between the city name and the jurisdiction
code vary with the requested PC*MILER Version. For Version 14.x and 15.x a
comma is required, e.g. Princeton,NJ. For Versions 16.x and higher you can use a
comma or a space, e.g. Princeton, NJ or Princeton<space>NJ.
Request Type: “MI”, the default entry, will cause PC*MILER (or
PC*MILER|Streets) to generate only point-to-point mileage look-ups. “SM” will
cause PC*MILER to generate a summary of miles traveled through each state,
broken down by toll roads and free roads, in addition to the point-to-point
mileage. “HS” will cause PC*MILER to generate detailed driving instructions, in
addition to the state mileage summary and point-to-point mileage look-up. It is
recommended that HS not be the default routing type unless Users need to have
turn by turn driving instructions generated for every distance request.
Toll Cost: (With PC*MILER|Tolls only) ‘T’ for the Cash price and ‘D’ for the
Discount price. Configuration of Discount program membership is done by
running the desktop PC*MILER|Tolls program (pcmwin32.exe), clicking the
Route pull-down menu and selecting Default Options > Tolls tab. You must
restart your PC mileage server (as400.exe) after making these changes because
options are only read by the server at startup.
Graphics requests: Not supported in PC*MILER-AS/400 Multi-Version Switch.
Routing Type: Varies with the version requested.
For Versions 14.x & 15.x the options are:
P (Practical) S (Shortest) N (National Network) T (Toll Discouraged)
For Version 16.x:
P (Practical) S (Shortest) N (National Network) T (Toll Discouraged)
5 (Fifty-three Foot Trailer)
