I kinda wonder why they need so many files.  We use BPCS 
and I can understand a plethora of files in a single database. Etc etc

Here is the issue,  this is a third party software package, it was not designed 
for a company of our size. (I inherited it)   For each transaction that hits, 
it creates a file. So... in a few days, Voila !  exceeds 55,500 files. That is 
with  thousands of transactions per day.  I used to have BPCS at another shop, 
so have seen similar situations.(but not like this)   My option is to have the 
third software co.  to write a purge(it is done manually by them, contract 
service) and they have source  or  I will write my own aging pgm to try and get 
this down to manageable level.    Appreciate the response.
