I would like to create a pl_profile.txt file that includes multiple calendar years of data. I realize that files names do not include the year and therefore would all appear the same from year to year. I found a file naming utility that allows me to bulk amend file names. I've done this successfully and created a folder just for this purpose.

When I go to rebuild the database, I'm unsuccessful in being able to match drf files with xrd files and the routine dies shortly thereafter.

Is there a file character limit that I'm exceeding? Is there another way to accomplish this task.

Thanks,

Terry

I think you'd be better off keeping the pl files separate (no file renaming), and then either use the Quick Extract routine (complete history) to append them, or use an external file joining program to concatenate them together

Thanks Steve. That worked perfectly.
