Question: PC*MILER works correctly but my Innovative Print Missing Tariff miles is not returning miles for a few cities.

Answer: The city spellings in the Innovative city file are different than in PC*MILER. Use the report from the Print Missing Tariff Miles (which lists the city discrepancies) and type PCMILER from the AS/400 command line. Now type the city code in, e.g. OCOK (should be Oklahoma City OK) and press <ENTER>. PC*MILER will indicate that it is not found. Now use the long spelling of the city, for example ok* OK, to determine the PC*MILER spelling. Press <F16> to invoke the ICC city update program and correct the spelling for Oklahoma City OK. After all the corrections are made, re-run the ICC Print Missing Tariff Miles utility to update those missing miles.

Question: Some of the mileage returned from PC*MILER is different from the mileage returned by my other transportation software.

Answer: The city spelling or ZIP being used by the other software is probably not correct. To verify what place name is being sent to PC*MILER, click on the Pick Pins icon and then on the stop-off point in the mapping window. Now correct your AS/400 cities file.

Question: When I change my queue name to "MIDQUE", my PC can't receive anything from the AS/400.

Answer: Make sure that you exit and restart the PC*MILER interactive software on the AS/400. The PC*MILER program on the AS/400 will detect the presence of the new queue and it will send requests to this queue.

Question: The interactive response time has become slower on the AS/400 since we have added several more users. Can we improve the performance?

Answer: Yes. You can run multiple copies of the PC*MILER AS/400 program on the same PC if you have enough memory. Or if you have another available PC, you can start up PC*MILER AS/400 on the other PC.

Question: How can I run PC*MILER AS/400 on more than one PC?

Answer: Make sure that PC*MILER AS/400 is installed properly on each PC. Additionally, set the queue name to MIDQUE so that the multiple PC's are servicing the same queue.
