Per question #2.  We rewrite the sqr under the same name to keep the
relation to the original, but place in in a separate custom directory on the
LAN  or separate custom library on the mainframe.  This way the original
remains in tact for ease in upgrades.

Hello,

I have a couple of miscellaneous type SQR questions:

1.  We recently upgraded from SQR3 to SQR4 - now when I run an SQR
through SQRW and have it still open - I cannot open Excel, Netscape,
Remote Application manager and several other applications - I did not
experience this problem with version 3.  It appears that SQR puts some
kind of lock on something.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Is there
anything that can be done to prevent it.  While waiting for an SQR to
run, I usually try to do other work.

2.   General question regarding documentation.   When an existing SQR is
totally re-written due to new requirements such as a new third party
vendor - do you retain all of the old documentation and comment out the
obsolete code and do you treat it more like a new report and delete all
the old stuff?   Just wondering what everyone else does as we try to
develop some standards.
