to 0.

Display this data regularly to control disk space usage. Note the PUBLIC.archist table size near
the end of the report. The table size indicates the number of transactions currently stored. Perform
an archive whenever the row count is roughly 80% of the expected number of rows.
A message is displayed if the row count reaches the expected number of rows. If this happens,

number of rows exceeds 80%: PUBLIC.download; PUBLIC.alrmtran.
