Select the letter that you want and click Insert. When you are finished, click
Cancel to close the Symbol window.
NOTE: To search for an accented letter in a different font, make a selection from
the Font pick list at the top of the Symbol window.
3.4 Changing the “NL” Setting
To accommodate the use of the “NL” abbreviation to conform to ISO 2-Character
abbreviation standards, users can now choose whether to set NL to geocode to
Newfoundland and Labrador locations in Canada or to Nuevo Leon locations in
Mexico. This new setting is defaulted to Use NL for Newfoundland and
Labrador. PC*MILER|Spreadsheets users can adjust this setting in the user.cfg
file in the App folder of the PC*MILER installation, usually C:\ALK
Technologies\PMW25x\App. Open the user.cfg file using Wordpad, Notepad, or
another text editor and make the following change:
[User Settings]
"UseNLForNuevoLeon"=1
To reset back to the default choice (Use NL for Newfoundland and Labrador),
change =1 back to =0.
NOTE: If Use NL for Newfoundland and Labrador is selected and you try to
enter a Nuevo Leon location as an origin or destination, you will receive a -1 error
message as the formula result.
NOTE Also: If you are using PC*MILER|Connect, a new API is available to
make this setting change, as PC*MILER|Connect does not use the settings in the
user.cfg file.
3.5 Using Mexican Postal Codes
Mexican Postal Codes are now accessible in the database. Since U.S. ZIP Codes
and Mexican Postal Codes share a similar naming convention, to ensure that the
entered ZIP/Postal Code matches the desired location, there are new settings
available for the PCMSERVE.INI (see Appendix B), and new function prototypes
in PC*MILER|Connect. The new PCMSERVE.INI settings are:
UseUSPostCodes=True/False
UseMexPostCodes=True/False
To add these setting options, open PCMSERVE.INI (in your Windows or
WINNT folder) in Notepad or Wordpad and add them to the [OPTIONS] section.
The possible setting combinations are:
