FOR AN ON-SCREEN DISPLAY OF THESE DEFINITIONS, press the
Help key on your keyboard. For Terminal Emulation sessions on PC’s,
this is typically the Scroll Lock key or Right Mouse Click > Help.
In the middle of the screen are the stop entry fields. Enter the city names
and state abbreviations for the stop-off locations desired, their ZIP codes,
or their latitude/longitude positions. Both the Spelling Helper and ZIP
Code Helper described in the main PC*MILER User’s Guide are available
for use with PC*MILER-AS/400. You may enter up to 30 stop-offs.
⇒ NOTE: PC*MILER-AS/400 only supports Degree-Minute-Second lat/long
format; e.g. 0333716N,1142709W.
⇒ NOTE
For PC*MILER|Streets Users: An address should directly follow the
city/state or ZIP code entry, separated by a semicolon (e.g. “Princeton, NJ;
1000 Herrontown Road”).
You can also purchase separate add-on data modules for Canadian postal
codes or SPLC codes. A Canadian postal code is entered in the same
manner as a ZIP code, but in the following format: L#L<space> #L#. (e.g.
“K7L 4E7”). A SPLC is a six- or nine-digit number, preceded by the letters
‘SPLC’ (e.g. “SPLC908601”).
