Mike,

Do these programs use a lot of files?  One thing the outline does is pull
in the files used by the program and all of their fields.  This seems to
take the longest, and unfortunately, I do not think it is making use of the
object cache that the program verifiers use.
>>>Not so many files as copybooks. I would say an average of 30-50 copybooks
per program. No, these aren't custom programs, this is a purchased product.


The good thing about the outline is that it doesn't load by default, and
you do not need to load it to make a quick change. 
>>> Thank God for that. I would never get any work done.


If you ever work on any "longer term" projects it might be worth looking at
the iSeries Projects feature.  This pulls the source you are working on
down to your PC so if you are going to be working on the same set of
programs for a few days you can work on it all locally and just upload it
when you want to build it.  This helps with the speed and quick access
issue (provided that you would be working on these items over a long enough
period of time to realize the benefit).
>>> That is my thought as well, like I said I am not giving up. I want it to
work, I just wanted to see if other people have had similar problems.
