[. . . ] For PC*MILER Version 14 or earlier it was assumed that the last two characters of a city name were the state code, but that is no longer true. Length of city names: The length of city names in the PC*MILER database increased from 22 to 95 in Version 15. Also, city name returns now include ZIP code, Canadian Postal Code (if it exists), then city name, state/province abbreviation, and county name. Reports Are Different Than in Previous Versions of PCMServe For users upgrading from previous versions (14 or earlier) of PCMServe, reports have undergone revision due to changes in the underlying data. Efforts were made to maintain backward compatibility, but some differences were unavoidable. Provided that reports were parsed using Tabs as delimiters and not parsed as fixed length strings, the differences should be minor with the exception of the . RTR report (turn by turn driving instructions). Unlike previous versions, the new . RTR report cannot be directly displayed on a screen without parsing. Changes By Report . MIL Report: The . MIL report returns ZIP codes plus city/state abbreviations. This report has now increased from 22 to 25 characters, and the U. S. Stop names over 25 characters in length are truncated at 25 characters, so state information may not be returned. PCMServe User's Guide For example: Aluminum CO of America Plant, PA, Dauphin is truncated to: Aluminum CO of America Pl 5 . OUT Report: This report returns stops in the format in which they were passed. Version 22 returns a comma between the city name and state abbreviation; the input file must contain a comma or space between the city name and state abbreviation. Returned stop names are decreased from 22 to 20 characters. Stops passed that are over 20 characters in length are truncated to 20 characters, so state information may be lost. For example: Aluminum CO of America Plant, PA would be returned as: Aluminum CO of Ameri . STA Report: This report has had ferry miles added. The columns in the order returned are now Total Miles, Toll Mile, Non-Toll Miles, Ferry Miles, Loaded Miles, and Empty Miles. Like the . OUT report, the . STA report returns stops in the format in which they were passed. In Version 22, the comma between city and state will be returned (commas in the input file are optional but if you do not use the optional comma you must use a space to separate the city and state), and stops larger than 20 characters will be truncated. For example: Aluminum CO of America Plant, PA would be returned as: Aluminum CO of Ameri . RTR Report: This report has undergone some major enhancements. It is no longer designed to be directly displayed on a screen without parsing. See the description of this report in section 2. 3. . TOT Report: This report now includes ferry miles. The columns in the order returned are now Total Miles, Toll Mile, Non-Toll Miles, Ferry Miles, Loaded Miles, and Empty Miles.
