Re: File size -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

We run a utility every night that checks the status of each file (actual
number of records vs capacity).  When it detects that the file is at 80%
it increases it by 50% and prints a report that it did so.  This keeps
us from filling up our files and allows us to monitor growth.
