Re: bpcs 6.1 tuning / clearing work files -- BPCS-L

     Stating the obvious I know, but only clear ZPD records with 'PZ' in 
     the id field....Others hanging around may need investigating.

i read with fascination the posting from Peggy Heritz about clearing several 
bpcs work files when the system is not being used. we have a nightly job that 
clears several of these files (CLRPFM   ECHW,ECLW,ZEF etc). we learned about 
these the hard way when we were having conflicts within the order entry system. 

i looked at our system and we are not clearing the following files. would it 
make sense to also clear these files each evening when the system is down and 
nobody is on it?

ZPD
EWR
ZQWAP
ZQWRP
ZQWSP

if these are truly work files i see no harm in clearing them each evening. does 
anybody have any cautions, concerns, or comments, for what it's worth we are 
using version 6.04 in mixed mode. all applications are green screen with the 
exception of order entry (uses the configurator) and CEA.

and finally, where or where might i find a discussion of topics such as this 
within the SSA literature?

thanks
