The EI History File Purge purges EI detail and adjustment records no longer required for reporting, displaying or the ROE system, thus reducing the size of the EI history file (PRUI01.DAT). This option will NOT allow the current years EI history to be purged. You must retain at least the last 52 weeks for EI history in order to generate a ROE. There is an option to place the purged records into a file named PRUI01.HST. We recommend taking a backup of the Payroll directory, at the same time, backup the history files and delete the PRUI01.HST from your system.
NOTE: This option is forced to batch and should only be run when users are NOT active in this payroll.

Create History File
-
Enter 'N' if you do not want to create the history file.
Enter the Lowest Allowable Disk Space
-
Enter a number representing the lowest number of free blocks that you require for your payroll disk device. This purge module uses a file optimization process that compresses the data in the EI file so that the file uses the least amount of disk space, while ensuring the number of blocks remaining for use on your disk does not fall below this number.
This process will not accept a number less than 20000 blocks.
