Runaway QTP process

G'day Abraham

Please excuse my ignorance of the MPE platform.  What database engine are
you using?  Why can't you change the ACCESS statement to:

ACCESS ACK-OPERATIONS &
  LINK A-WORK-ORDER, ITEM-NUM  &
    TO A-WORK-ORDER, ITEM-NUM OF ACK-DIE-ITEM
SELECT IF DELETE-CODE OF ACK-DIE-ITEM <> ' '
(or CHOOSE 'a' TO 'z', 'A' TO 'Z', '0' TO '9')

This would work on a RDBMS.

Regards,
Blue

Hi all,

I have been off this list for a long time.   It is good to be back.  Im
on a:
PH3000 os ver. 6.5
using Power House     ver 8.19.c1

I have the following job
!JOB JOBNAME,XXXX.XXX;OUTCLASS=LP14,1
!QTP PRI=ES
CAN CLE
SET DEF
ACC ACK-OPERATIONS LINK A-WORK-ORDER  TO &
                                A-WORK-ORDER OF ACK-DIE-ITEM

SELECT ACK-DIE-ITEM IF ITEM-NUM OF ACK-OPERATIONS = &
                       ITEM-NUM OF ACK-DIE-ITEM AND &
                       DELETE-CODE OF ACK-DIE-ITEM <> ' '

OUTPUT ACK-OPERATIONS UPDATE
ITEM DELETE-CODE OF ACK-OPERATIONS FINAL DELETE-CODE OF ACK-DIE-ITEM

This qtp pass will take all of the cpu (95%+) it can get and do very
little disc IO (used sos to monitor).  The cpu usage was so bad that I
was not able to abort the job.  After trying for just over a half hour
we had to reboot the HP3000 to break it free.  Has anybody else come
upon a qtp the seemed to have a runaway process?

PS.  I have got the job to work by using quiz to collect the changed
records then  using qtp with a unique key.
