52 PC*MILER|AS/400 MVS User’s Guide
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.
