9.0 Common Questions and Installation Problems

Question: PC*MILER works correctly when using the PCMILER command on the AS/400, but my Innovative software does not work.

Answer: Run the CONFIG command on the AS/400 (which is described in the manual) and type the Innovative work library name I93WORK or ITSR5W012 (check with ICC). After this is complete, check the File menu in the AS/400 Mileage Server, choose AS/400 Control>Change Library Queue. Or you can edit the PCMSERVE.INI or PMWSSRV.INI for Streets, changing the LIBRARY=ALKMVS to LIBRARY=I93WORK and then restart the AS/400 Mileage Server. Or re-install the AS/400 windows CD and type I93WORK. Restart the

SERVER.

Question: PC*MILER works correctly when using the PCMILER command but my McCormick software does not use the same routing options such as Practical or Shortest.

Answer: The McCormick software was enhanced so that it uses the mileage parameters that are set by our CONFIG utility. Some McCormick sites do not have these enhancements. The user should call McCormick about this problem.

Question: The Interactive PC*MILER screen crashes when I type in an ICC Short City Code.

Answer: PC*Miler does a lookup in an ICC Cities database when you use Short City Codes, a component program of PC*Miler needs to be compiled with access to your Cities database. The compile will fail unless you have ALKMVS and your Innovative work and file libraries in your library list. Get a 400 command line and do a DSPLIB, make sure you have ALKMVS and your two Innovative Libraries in your list. The Innovative libraries are different from release to release. They can be I93WORK and I93DATA, or ITSR4WORK and

ITSR4FILE, or ITSR5WORK and ITSR5FILE, or ITSR6WORK and ITSR6FILE, or IESR7WORK and IESR7FILE. If the necessary libraries are not in your list use the ADDLIBLE command to add them. Then do a WRKOBJPDM<space>ALKMVS. Do a 12 on QRPGSRC and then a 14 on CITICC, say yes to replace existing member.
