RE: ECHW & ECLW

["George Sagen" <gsagen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Larry,

They are work files for Sales Order Creation and Maintenance. Whenever you
create an order you are actually creating it ECHW & ECLW instead of ECH &
ECL. When you accept the order, the ECLW and ECHW records are copied to the
ECH and ECL and the ECHW/ECLW records are deleted.

Sometimes you will get an in-use error message on a sales order during order
picking yet when you check the HINUSE column in the ECH table it's not set
to 'Y'. In that case check for ECHW/ECLW records with the same order #. If
they exist and truly nobody is actually editing the order, then blow them
away using the SQL statement:

DELETE FROM eclw
   WHERE lord = <insert order #>;
DELETE FROM echw
   WHERE hord = <insert order #>;

The record locks error messages should go away.

The presence of these tables is another persuasive reason to use ORD300 for
viewing sales orders rather than going into order entry. Since opening an
order in order entry creates the work table records, by just opening the
order in ORD700 or COM you are inviting the opportunity for a crashed PC or
network failure to leave the order in an unusable state.

|Can anyone tell me what function ECHW and ECLW serve?  We are full C/S at
|6.0.02plf.  If they are work files should they be cleared when the
|daemons are
|started?
|
|Any help would be appreciated.
