[. . . ] The only way to take advantage of this new functionality is to pass in the new code in position 1 of the Request Options. Previously the five available codes were: P = Practical S = Shortest N = National Network T = Toll Discouraged 5 = 53 Foot Trailer New Codes: P = Practical S = Shortest B = Toll Discouraged/Practical C = National Network/Practical D = 53 Foot Trailer/Practical E = Toll Discouraged/National Network/Practical F = Toll Discouraged/53 Foot Trailer/Practical PC*MILER-AS/400 User's Guide 38 G = Toll Discouraged/Shortest H = National Network/Shortest I = 53 Foot Trailer/Shortest J = Toll Discouraged/National Network/Shortest K = Toll Discouraged/53 Foot Trailer/Shortest Use of the old codes is still supported, no changes are required. Old codes for National Network (N), Toll Discouraged(T), and 53 Foot Trailer(5) will be generated using the Practical network. NOTE: For users upgrading from PC*MILER|Streets, the Light/Heavy vehicle option has been renamed to `Override Restrictions'. Parameter codes have changed from L (Light) to Y (Override Restrictions) and H (Heavy) to N (Obey Restrictions). NOTE: For Version 16 and higher, the HS (Turn-by-Turn Driving Instructions) return packet was changed from previous versions. The fields for Route and Interchange were lengthened and the number of sets of route information was reduced from 4 sets per packet to 3. See section 6. 2. 4. 1 for full details. REMINDER: Users of PC*MILER Versions 14 and 15, and PC*MILER|Streets Versions 1, 2000, 3, and 4 must type a comma between the city and the state or province. For Version 16 and higher you have the option of using a comma or a space between the city and state or province abbreviation. PC*MILER-AS/400 User's Guide 39 6. 1 Technical Overview The PC*MILER-AS/400 system uses distributed processing techniques (i. e. The user interface or interactive software is written in RPG and runs on the AS/400. Small CL programs are used for the creation and removal of temporary data queues (output or response queues). The mileage calculation software is written in C++ and runs on a PC in the Windows environment. The RPG programs communicate with the PC mileage calculation software through Client Access Express. The interactive software on the AS/400 allows multiple users to look up point-to-point mileage and routes for up to thirty stop-off points. The Windows server application creates a data queue on the AS/400 at startup called MIDQUE. The server application waits for mileage requests and processes them when received. While the server application is waiting for work to do, the PC can be used for other tasks such as PC*MILER graphics or RUMBA terminal emulation.

The subroutine SNDREQ sends mileage requests to PC*MILER and the subroutine RSLT receives mileage results from PC*MILER. The subroutine PLOT can be used to send graphics requests for ETA truck display of graphics. For example, a truck or vehicle ID's Lat/Long, ZIP, or city name position can be sent to the PC using PLOT and the "DT" request. Then a "DR" request with the truck's origin and destination can be sent so that a graphical ETA can be determined. [. . . ] the PC*MILER|Tolls-compatible version: The mileage server executable name is "Srv32. exe". There are two distinct builds of this file: 1) the PC*MILER build and 2) the PC*MILER-AS/400 User's Guide 111 PC*MILER|Tolls build. If you have purchased the PC*MILER|Tolls add-on, both versions will be installed to C:\Program Files\ALK Technologies\ Pmw220\AS400. If the Tolls component is checked during installation, you will have the PC*MILER|Tolls build (Srv32. exe) and also "Srv32_Hwy. exe", which is a renamed copy of the standard PCMILER build. [. . . ]
