RE: V6.0.2 MM COM

On question # 2, I have seen that job go into an indefinite loop fairly
frequently in 6.0.02 and 6.0.04.  The reason we found for the looping of the
job was duplicate ECL lines.  We also were able to trace at least a one
possible cause at the last company I was with (there are a lot...check OGS
on ORD700 and duplicate lines), it was using the F5 remove deleted lines in
ORD700.  Of course this was something that could not be duplicated 100% of
the time but it happened frequently enough for us to instruct people not to
use it.

FYI, On a slightly better note (probably won't help you though) I have been
doing some preliminary testing on ORD700 on version 6.1 MM and it seems much
improved.  The layout of the screens have been made a little more user
friendly (of course they had a lot of room for improvement) but so far I
haven't run into the general instability problems that seemed to be a
regular occurrence in 6.02-6.04. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Subject: V6.0.2 MM COM


     1. Can anyone tell me how to 'unlock' andorder which is
     'In use at another workstation' when the 'in-use' field on the ECL and
     ECH files are not set to 'Y'. This happens when a COM session crashes
     or when we have to cancel an occurance of ORD701B (see 2)

     2. Most of the occurances of ORD701B (COM order pos) run quickly but
     occasionally this job runs indefinitely - we have let it run for up to
     10 hours without completion and end up cancelling it.

     Any help would be greatly appreciated,
                                                Andrew
