Note: The requirements for commas between the city name and the jurisdiction
code vary with the requested PC*MILER Version. For Version 14.x and 15.x a
comma is required, e.g. Princeton,NJ. For Versions 16.x and 17.x you can
use a comma or a space, e.g. Princeton, NJ or Princeton<space>NJ.
Request Type: “MI”, the default entry, will cause PC*MILER (or
PC*MILER|Streets) to generate only point-to-point mileage look-ups.
“SM” will cause PC*MILER to generate a summary of miles traveled
through each state, broken down by toll roads and free roads, in addition
to the point-to-point mileage. “HS” will cause PC*MILER to generate
detailed driving instructions, in addition to the state mileage summary and
point-to-point mileage look-up.
Graphics requests: Are not supported in PC*MILER|AS/400 Multiple
Version Switch.
Routing Type: Varies with the Version Requested.
For Versions 14.x & 15.x the options are:

For Version 16.x:

For Version 17.x:

routes. (Refer to the main PC*MILER User’s Guide for more detailed
descriptions of these routing options.) See Chapter 7, Using PC*MILER
With Other Transportation Software for details on using this new

Discouraged Route depending on how you have your “Routing Type”
set.
