In a message dated 98-08-23 14:33:37 EDT, you write:
<< I am having a problem Copying_Out the tick data.
My tick data file is 470MB. I am copying out
about 60% of the portfolio, enough data to make
probably a 250MB file.
After two hours of processing, the server says
"Not enough disk space to compress d:\....."
There is ONE GIGABYTE of free space on this disk ! ! ! !
How much !@%#^!@# space does this program need for a 250MB file ? ? ?
....
Has anyone else seen and dealt with this errror?

What you've experienced is not an error. That's the way it is.
I know from my experience that to create an .omz file one needs
free space equal to about twice the size of the ORIGINAL data file
or of its part that one wishes to copy out.
All you have to do is to copy out the file in segments. For instance,
you can do it in 2 parts -- A to M and N to Z, or by date, which I
happen to prefer. If the split in two parts is not enough, use shorter
segments. (I use monthly segments).
