Re: Order changes -- BPCS-L

We had the silimar problems. For performance and security reason, we cannot
set up the trigger on Oracle, and we did the same things as Terri done. The
worst is we even cannot identify the deleted line based on last maintained
date & time. Terri, could you give me a brief explain on "We have had lines
deleted, and L01 was used, so it was never reduced"? what's the L01 means.
We also consider to analyzer the oracle's LogMiner, just like the Quest's
Sharplex, but it is very time-consuming...
