Re: IPGCFP4/@CPISYS

[Jeff_Klipa/Harvard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Ours has over 35,000 records in it and I would ASSUME thet the old records
are no longer needed...
I am not aware of any facility for purging this file nor do I know exactly
what it's used for...
If you look at the "Where Used" list in the JBA Technical Reference (which
you can find in the June 1999 Edition or the JBA Customizer CD) you see
that is is used in a very large number of programs...  Perhaps from the old
IPG days...

I'm going to delete all records prior to 1001001 (October 1, 2000) from my
file and the next time the system goes down for maintenance I'm going to
re-org it...

Good one Steve...!!!

We received a file full error on the above file when attempting to submit
MRP.  Although it only contains 10,000+ records, they date back to 1996.
It
appears that the file is used to retrieve the current job number in various
programs in MR, IN, AO, and PD applications.  I believe its roots go back
to
the IPG (Interactive Program Generator) programs that JBA used to write
several years ago.
Does System 21 have a method of removing old records from this file?  Or
can
I simply delete some of the old records and re-org the file?
I hesitate to change the physical file to max. records  = *NOMAX and let
the
file grow if the old data is not needed.
Thank you,
Steve --
