7.2.2 Point-to-point Miles (MI) Request and Response

For PC*MILER|Tolls, the MI Request layout was increased by 10 to hold a

new set of trip parameters. The CP Response layout was increased by

these 10 new trip parameters plus 7 characters to hold Tolls Cost data.

Output data queues increased from 1024 to 1048.

1. (Request) The following are field parameters for requesting miles. The

purpose of the Mileage request is to allow the host application to retrieve

point-to-point miles. This type of request could be used for a quick

mileage lookup from a host inquire program or for running several stop-off

points in a batch environment. The host dispatching software could

generate this request when a new trip is established.
