Admins,
We are FTPing a number of files from a remote location and then deleting the
original files once we have processed them. In the process of doing the
deletions, we have encountered a "4K macro buffer exceeded" error when the
number of files to be deleted is excessive. I use the term "excessive" only
because it appears the system has a limitation which we are exceeding, not
because I actually think that a few hundred should be too many.
My question is basically this: Can this 4K macro buffer be extended, or is
our only option to modify the script that we are running to avoid the error?
Below you will find the error as it was logged. Please let me know if any
additional info is required.
HP-UX 11.0 on a K420.
Thanks in advance.
