        Subject:        QTP as a system hog

        To all,

        I'm working on an HP3000 using QTP version 8.19.C2.  I have a
QTP process
        that is reading a NM/KSAM file, doing a select, sorting, then
writing out
        two subfiles.  This process keeps taking over my system.  Even
running in
        the EQ it will take all available system resources so no one
(even the folks
        in a higher queue) can get any CPU time.

        Has anyone seen this before?  Any help would be appreciated.

        I'm posting this to both the HP3000-L and the Powerhouse-L.
