I started asking about this in another thread, so to keep it separate, I will ask in a new thread, and with more details.

I want to adjust the database so that guys import when they started playing substantially in real life - not just when they received their first plate appearance. Like the old AnkitNorm database. Easy enough - just adjust the master.csv debut date accordingly. I am trying to do this starting in 1901.

However, I have found that no matter what I do, the importing of historical amateurs fails at the end of 1902. The initial import goes fine, and the 1901 draft (for 1902 rookies) is fine, but the 1902 draft (of 1903 rookies) has only fictional players.

I tested out the situation by editing just one guy. If I delete him entirely it fails. If I postpone his debut date, it fails. If I also adjust the batting.csv, fielding.csv, etc, to accomodate the later debut date, it still fails. Basically, any editing of the files fails, and always at the same time.

Any thought as to what could be going wrong?
