ORD900 - Order close / Purge

AS/400 MixMode  V4r2m0        bpcs V6.0.02

Does anyone know if ORD900 can continue to run while other BPCS normal daily 
jobs are running.  I realize this might kill performance on the system but 
other than that will it hurt anything else.

Has anyone written separate programs for this process.  OUr company has not 
run this job properly for the last several months and the files are very 
large.  The job has been run the last couple of weekends but is taking 
forever to run due to the size of the files and that it hasn't been run 
properly with correct parameters selected.  We're currently running it with 
the option '3' to both close and purge the files.  Up until recently the job 
had been run with only the close option therfore the files are very large 
and now we are killed by the time it takes to complete.  I realize this 
initial time may take much longer due to the previous run parameters 
selected.  Any suggestions.  We can rewrite this in RPG is we knew what 
files and fields to update.  We don't have an ASSET programmer in house.
