Hello --

So, independently of any other code, the memory limit error I referenced is
not a problem. The issue I am running into now is that our analytics
group must go back to all existing code and comment out the memory limit
reference [See my example below]. I'm sure there is a quick fix. If anyone
has ideas, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Error in trunc(.Internal(memory.size(size))) :
  Non-numeric argument to mathematical function
