Reporter aircraft cleared for visual approach for parallel runway and to watch for traffic on other runway. Reporter aircraft overshot turn in on final and, though reporter didn't see it, other aircraft reported near midair collision.

Narrative:
We were cleared to intercept localizer (back course) runway 23 and descend to 4000 ft. Approximately 15-17 mi out when established on localizer (back course) inbound, tower asked if we would like to land runway 18L, we said yes. We were then cleared for the visual runway 18L and not to descend below 4000 ft till within 11 DME of clt VOR. At 11 DME we proceeded to descend to 2300 ft to set up for the visual. Tower then told us we had right parallel traffic. Copilot said roger and began looking for traffic. Approximately 4-5 mi from approach end of runway 18L neither pilot saw right traffic and proceeded to intercept final of runway 18L with a slight overshoot. Nothing seemed irregular, no near miss was noted from our aircraft. An aeronautical information circular said otherwise. To avoid this situation, tower could have given us a fix position of the parallel traffic to allow a more accurate scan of the immediate area to avoid any potential for an overshoot.

Title: RPTR ACFT CLRED FOR VISUAL APCH FOR PARALLEL RWY AND TO WATCH FOR TFC ON OTHER RWY. RPTR ACFT OVERSHOT TURN IN ON FINAL AND, THOUGH RPTR DIDN'T SEE IT, OTHER ACFT RPTED NMAC.
Narrative: WE WERE CLRED TO INTERCEPT LOC (BACK COURSE) RWY 23 AND DSND TO 4000 FT. APPROX 15-17 MI OUT WHEN ESTABLISHED ON LOC (BACK COURSE) INBOUND, TWR ASKED IF WE WOULD LIKE TO LAND RWY 18L, WE SAID YES. WE WERE THEN CLRED FOR THE VISUAL RWY 18L AND NOT TO DSND BELOW 4000 FT TILL WITHIN 11 DME OF CLT VOR. AT 11 DME WE PROCEEDED TO DSND TO 2300 FT TO SET UP FOR THE VISUAL. TWR THEN TOLD US WE HAD R PARALLEL TFC. COPLT SAID ROGER AND BEGAN LOOKING FOR TFC. APPROX 4-5 MI FROM APCH END OF RWY 18L NEITHER PLT SAW R TFC AND PROCEEDED TO INTERCEPT FINAL OF RWY 18L WITH A SLIGHT OVERSHOOT. NOTHING SEEMED IRREGULAR, NO NEAR MISS WAS NOTED FROM OUR ACFT. AN AERONAUTICAL INFO CIRCULAR SAID OTHERWISE. TO AVOID THIS SIT, TWR COULD HAVE GIVEN US A FIX POS OF THE PARALLEL TFC TO ALLOW A MORE ACCURATE SCAN OF THE IMMEDIATE AREA TO AVOID ANY POTENTIAL FOR AN OVERSHOOT.
