7.2.3 Point-to-point Miles (MI) Request and Response
1. (Request) The following are field parameters for requesting miles. The
purpose of the Mileage request is to allow the host application to retrieve
point-to-point miles. This type of request could be used for a quick mile
lookup from a host inquire program or for running several stop-off points in
a batch environment. The host dispatching software could generate this
request when a new trip is established.
