RE: Updating a Program using SETLL/READPE - Suggestions

Yes, but we have almost 50 shipping doors, which means almost 50
shipping requests may be done at any given time (so there could be 5,000
records being changed at once).

Also, our system is very heavily taxed with interactive jobs (which is
why I am petitioning the senior management for a new AS/400, as our box
usually hovers at or above 70% CPU usage at any given time), so this may
also be a contributing factor.  That, coupled with less than optimal
source code...

Didn't you say it was taking five minutes in some cases?  I would not
expect anything near that type of response unless someone is holding
open a record lock on one of the records that you are trying to update.
Ten records or a hundred should be 'lickity-split' (a technical term).
