Appendix H: Technical Implications of PC*MILER|Tolls
To accommodate the extra space needed for requesting and receiving Tolls
Cost data, the request and response packet layouts were increased in size
and the size of the response data queues was increased as detailed below.
Third party or In-house transportation software must be
modified to utilize PC*MILER-AS400 with the Tolls Cost
component. PC*MILER-AS400 with the PC*MILER|Tolls add-on module
cannot replace previous versions of PC*MILER-AS400 without programming
changes. See Chapter 7, Using PC*MILER|Tolls With Other Transportation
Software, for more information.
Notes For Existing PC*MILER-AS400 Users:
• A set of 10 new trip parameters has been inserted into all of the
request and response packets.
• All return types (CP, SR, HR) were expanded to hold Tolls Cost
information. CP was expanded by 7 characters, SR by 77, and HR by
63.
For PC*MILER|Tolls, the ROUTEINFO portion of the HS return was increased
by seven characters and the number of ROUTEINFO sets per response
packet was increased from three to nine to improve performance. For users
who are upgrading from Version 15 or less, see NOTE below for previous
changes.
• Output Data Queues sizes were lengthened from 1024 to 1048.
• Data Area “TLLALK” (renamed from COMALK) was modified to store a
default setting for Tolls Cost requests.
• “Old mode” or short city names (22 characters) are not supported.
NOTE: In Version 16, the ROUTEINFO portion of the HS return was
increased by 25 characters and the number of ROUTEINFO sets per
response packet was decreased from four sets to three. Route Number was
increased 15 characters from 20 to 35 (Highway, Road or Street Name), and
Interchange City or Junction was increased 10 characters from 28 to 38.
The standard PC*MILER-AS400 distance server vs. 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|Tolls build. If
you have purchased the PC*MILER|Tolls add-on, both versions will be
installed to C:\ ALK Technologies\pcmiler28\AS400.
