PC*MILER|AS/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
