Here's my 2 cents (for 6.04 - 6.1): The ZPD file has records that are used to regenerate various BPCS documents through the document regeneration program (ORD798). These files are normally created, used, and record ID changed to soft deleted status whenever a document is created through various BPCS programs. These soft deleted records display within the document regeneration program to allow users to reprint documents. A hard delete of those records will eliminate them from displaying and thus being able to reprint them. That is the only risk I know of for hard deleting those records. The EWR file is a work file that is used during Pick Confirm (ORD570). The only time records are left in this file is when ORD570 ends abnormally during the pick confirmation process. While these records exist in the EWR file the order lines they are related too will show ready for pick confirm status but will not display in ORD570. Those records will need to be deleted from the file to enable those order lines to be processed through Pick Confirm. In my experience it is a rare occurrence to ever have records in this file but if you do they will need to be deleted. I don't imagine this one helping much on performance though.

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 chick doe barton instrument systems +--- | This is the BPCS Users Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to BPCS-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to BPCS-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to BPCS-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner: dasmussen@aol.com +--- +--- | This is the BPCS Users Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to BPCS-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to BPCS-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to BPCS-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner: dasmussen@aol.com +---
