PLF, who is experiencing an intermittent problem with MRP600. Sometimes
this program will stay active with job status RUN without any apparent
activity(No record reads, no record writes). Has anyone got any
experience with similar problems concerning MRP explosions?

In the old days.....

I had an experience in v4.0.04 where MRP500/MRP600 would encounter a problem
when an item exists on a BOM (in the MBM file) and it did not have an
associated item master or item facility record (IIM and CIC).  The problem
occured when MRP500/600 would discover there was not a CIC record for an item
it was trying to plan, it calls a program that retrieves that file info or
creates a CIC record from the IIM when the CIC does not exist...it would just
sit there and loop!!!  The ONLY way I know of that this could happen is via a
conversion....so it is not really an SSA problem.

I would start here, if that is not it....Good Luck!
