RE: Custom written Order Ack and Pick Ticket

[Wes Reinhold <WesR@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

WE ENTER AND SHIP 1000+ ORDERS PER DAY. THE FULL CLIENT SERVER PROVED TO BE
WAY TO SLOW TO HANDLE THIS VOLUME.  ALSO, WE CURRENTLY USE OPTIO TO PRINT
OUR ORDERS, PICK TICKETS, ETC.  THIS LEADS TO PERFORMANCE AND SUPPORT
PROBLEMS.  IN ADDITION THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE CLIENT WHEN DOING BMRS, ETC
ON THE VARIOUS WORKSTATIONS.  THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE, I'LL LOOK INTO THE
VOLUME YOU SPEAK OF.

We are on 405 CD mixed mode with access to RPG/400 BPCS source code but I do

not have AS/Set & ORD570 is one of the monsters that I have given up on 
trying to modify.  However I have modified ORD595 ORD596 ORD597 which are 
rather tiny print programs called by ORD570 to generate the shipping 
documents.

If you have not already done so, I suggest you look at the DOC menu
resources.

I imagine the most definitive statement of sequence of events would be in
the 
BPCS Overview Reference Manual, which I have not purchased yet ... I am a
bit 
swamped with what I do have, but there have been times I could have used it.

There are editions available for BPCS V6.1.00 V6.0.02 and V6.0.04.   It is 
over 300 pages, contains over 70 flowcharts and covers the core BPCS
modules. 
 

Email dslic@aol.com and ask for an email sample packet on this manual if you

are interested. A table of contents and sample section is provided in the 
email sample.

I would be interested to know what led to the decision to move from full 
client server to mixed mode.
