This file is at 2 gig. That's why it says "File size too large".

util f/4 shows that the pre-version-16 ID fields have the text "Removed" in them.

Version 16-up puts "SCR + today's date" into the ID field. And following SQL shows that there are none of those in the z35:

SQL> select count(*) from z35 where z35_id like 'SCR%';

It wants to change all the "Removed" to "SCR20070125".

You may want to use SQL to update the z35_id, z36h_id, and z37h_id, changing 'Removed' to, for instance, 'SCRpre16', before running p_cir_32.

If this change is made, then p_cir_32 should work OK with 300 days (days-to-save).

Or, you could run p_cir_32 with a much greater number of days. And then, once you find a value that works, do subsequent runs with successively lower "days-to-save" values.
