RE: IPGCFP4/@CPISYS -- SYSTEM21

We experienced the same "file full" problem with IPGCFP4/@CPISYS.  The
response from several JBA consultants was that this file belonged to the
bygone era of IPG, and is no longer used by any applications.  We've been
clearing this file weekly and haven't had any problems.  We're on V3.5.0.

Good observation Art...!!!  Wow...  Ours is also set to *NOMAX...
I have just detected three distinct methods of date storage in this file...
See the following example...
    Date    Time  Program
                  Name

 1001005   83430  MP240
 1001006  101057  MP240
  102000  171455  MJ500
  102000  210108  @CPIPGMJ
  102100    1227  @CPIPGMJ
    1023   11304  DB287
    1023   73139  DB270
Last friday when I cleared the file I left only two (2) records in the
file...  Today there are twenty-two (22) records...
Again - I do not know what this file is used for but I suspect that
clearing old records will not cause any harm...

When I looked at our file it is *NOMAX and contains 138,000 records going
back to August of 1996.  Since we installed JBA in May of 1999,  I must
assume the older records were a gift from our JBA setup people.  I also
noticed that records output by program MR235 or CPIPGAO have the date in
MMDDYY sequence and other programs put the date out in YYMMDD sequence (no
century).  This will make it a joy to purge!

          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 --
