PC*MILER-AS/400 MVS User’s Guide 36
Ovrd (Override) Restrictions:
Versions 14.x and 15.x not available.
Versions 16.0 and 16.1 with optional Street Level Add-on Only).
All versions of 17.0 and higher.
In addition to the five basic PC*MILER route types, a Heavy and Light
Vehicle routing option is now offered. When Ovrd Restrictions is set to
“Y”, the Light Vehicle option is activated. With Light Vehicle routing
active, truck-prohibited roads will always be avoided, but truck-restricted
roads are considered for a route. (PC*MILER normally gives preference to
Interstates, major highways, and major thru-roads where possible.)
With Ovrd Restrictions set to “N”, Heavy Vehicle routing is in effect, so
both truck-prohibited and truck-restricted roads will always be avoided.
In addition, Heavy Vehicle routing takes nationwide 13’ 6” height
restrictions into account. A heavy vehicle is one weighing at least 80,000
pounds; a light vehicle weighs less than 80,000 pounds.
Miles/Kilometers: “M” will cause PC*MILER to generate distances in
miles. “K” will cause PC*MILER to generate distances in kilometers.
HazMat (Hazardous Material Type): (optional add-on data module)
Types of hazardous material routing that can be generated are: “G” for
General, “C” for Caustic, “E” for explosive, “F” for Flammable, “I” for
Inhalant, and “R” for Radioactive
Region (Continent): Regions in which mileage can be generated are: “A”
for Asia; “E” for Europe; “F” for Africa; “N” for North America; “O” for
Oceania; or “S” for South America. (Regions outside North America require
PC*MILER|Worldwide.) Toll Cost data is only available for the
Continental U.S. in Version 20.1 or higher, and with additional Canadian
data in Version 21 or higher.
