Q#21B Other programs newusage.exe

newusage.exe creates 2 outputs

- pederror.txt - database releationships that have gotten messed up over time.
- candelete.txt - A less exclusive list of birds that may be deleted.

This a screenshot of running the newusage program

newusage.exe creates to output text files

- candelete.txt
- pederror.txt

Pederror.txt - This is a key file. It shows birds who's data integrity is in question. I find this most often when I was entering pedigrees on new birds and missed an important relationship. It happens when you have entered the sire and dam in a pedigree and then delete the sire or dam from the database.

Candelete.txt - The usage.exe saves 3 generations of decendents of active or onhold birds. I wanted a list which would only save these children if the have an entry in the win fields. If the bird is not active and has no win I really do not want to keep it in the database.
There is enoff risk of not identifying the birds correctly that I will not delete them programatically.
