34 PC*MILERAS/400 MVS User’s Guide

•Use a street number.

Example: Princeton, NJ;1000 Herrontown Road as opposed to “Princeton, NJ;Herrontown Road”. In this example, if Herrontown Road is 50 miles long and no address is included, the returned mileages could be very inaccurate.

•When a street address is not supplied, do not send a semi-colon.

Example: Send 08540 as opposed to “08540;” – a semi-colon will cause the server to look up a blank address which is not necessary.

Three examples of correct input:

Trenton, NJ;21 Olden Avenue New York, NY;118 Broadway 20001

7.2.1PC*MILER Versions Available (MV) Request and Response

It is recommended that you maintain a list of available versions via the MV request type. Within the NV return is a space-delimited list of available versions. For instance: 140 150 161 170

Note: The PC*MILERAS/400 Multiple Version Switch PC mileage Server is designed such that if the Mileage Server (as400.exe) loses connection to a particular version of PC*MILER, the affected version will be removed from the list.
