We had a similar problem crop up suddenly where what was a 30-45 minute
process suddenly took hours.  We discovered that by recompiling the
appropriate logical file (which the SQL query "finds" if it is available) we
were able to get back to more normal processing times.  After that worked we
then cleaned up INP95 itself by SQLing out old records and doing a reorg.
These actions put month end processing time back into an acceptable (read
short) range.

Best,

Subject: MONTH END INVENTORY CLOSE


Our month end inventory run is extremely slow.  I was looking at program
IN024 to see if I could speed it up.  I noticed that it runs a subroutine
named BAKOUT for each item/stockroom.  This executes an SQL open of INP95,
reads all postings made for that item/stockroom after the month end, backs
them out of the starting period balance, and closes INP95.

Since we have to run the month end close the last day of the month because
of G/L considerations,  I don't see any purpose in doing this routine.
Also, opening and closing the file for each item seems extremely
inefficient.

Having been burned before when I thought there was no good reason for
something,  I would like the groups comments in case my analysis is wrong.
