PC*MILER-AS400 Version Notes – Please Read
There were no functional changes made in the ALKWIN or ALKTLL
libraries for Version 28. If you currently have Borders Open/Closed and
Use Ferry Distance Yes/No flags when you run the alkwin/pcmiler or
alktll/pcmtll commands, your ALKWIN or ALKTLL libraries are functionally
up to date. The libraries that you received with the V. 28 release have
two sample data structures (MISEND2 and TLSEND2) that include field
mappings for the Borders Open/Closed and Use Ferry Distance flags.
Updating your library is not required.
NOTE: The following features are not supported in the AS400 product
line: Fuel Optimization, Vehicle Profiles, Estimated Greenhouse Gas
Emissions, RouteSync, Entry/Exit Toll Plaza Names in Reports, and Real-
time/Historical Traffic Data. Province/Estado Abbreviation Option to set
“NL” preference is supported in Version 25-28 only.
Important Changes for Upgrades from Versions Older
than Version 17:
Combination Route Types (Version 17 and higher)
In Version 17 and higher PC*MILER now offers two basic route types,
Practical and Shortest, that may be combined with one or more of the
other three route options that PC*MILER users are familiar with (Toll
Discouraged and National Network or 53' Trailer Routing). Users of the
PC*MILER interactive program who want to obtain Toll Discouraged,
National Network, or 53' Trailer routing will additionally have to specify
either the Practical or Shortest Route type. (Previous to Version 17, all Toll
Discouraged, National Network, or 53'/102" Trailer routes were based on
the Practical route type.)
This functionality gives you the option to run 12 different route types:
 Practical
 Shortest
 Practical/Toll Discouraged
 Shortest/Toll Discouraged
 Practical/National Network
 Shortest/National Network
 Practical/53 Foot Trailer
 Shortest/53 Foot Trailer
 Practical/Toll Discouraged/National Network
