Don't know about the MRP, but _DID_ have the same problem with ACP500.  The 
ACP problem was caused by a change that they made requiring another parameter 
(batch total) passed to/from the other ACP500 programs to ACP500D1.  ACP500D2 
blows up referencing this parameter in a call to CEA.  This problem has been 
reported and I got objects on the FTP site, but will probably never become an 
MR.

Amazing that SSA insists on sending all these programs that have nothing to 
do with the problem you had on a BMR, yet _DIDN'T_ send a new version of 
ACP500D1 to a pure March CUM site when the Y2K version of all subsequent 
programs required another parameter from it.  I agreed with SSA's "BMR 
Explosion" strategy until Monday when this problem reared its' ugly head.  
Now I'm wondering what else we missed, since BPCS never checks *CALLSTS for 
AS/Set programs and in so doing hides problems with parameterized calls to 
batch programs.

There's a CUM available via FTP (if you're not on IE/5) for ACP500D1 on 
6.0.02.  We're going up on 6.1.00 in three weeks, so we took temporary 
ownership of ACP500D1 and added the tenth parameter ourselves to allow A/P 
posting until the cutover.  Smart of you to keep your old PTF library...
