[Babase] New conversion error (Jeanne?)

Hi,

I'm afraid I'm a bit steeped in the details to
make this entirely clear to the uninitiated,
so please read the entire message before
becoming totally befuddled.  (Tabby would
understand.  She's got
an intimate knowledge of reproductive concerns,
somehow.)

I'm getting a new conversion error because of
the temporary "gap" I put in:

psql:<stdin>:2219: ERROR:  ORI: 2006-12-08: Code S: State S:  
CYCGAPS.State should be O, does not correspond with CYCPOINTS

To summarize, the offspring of the ORI2 pregnancy
has a birthdate (2006-12-07) that's close enough to
ORI's next Ddate to make Babase require that
ORI is (in some sense) recorded as ovulating on the day after
the birth.  (I think the Ddate is 2006-12-13,
but please check the foxpro data to be sure.)

See:
https://papio.biology.duke.edu/babase_system_html/ch04s03.html
CYCSTATS.State, value of "O".

Ovulating the day after a birth/spontanious abortion
seems a bit wierd.  This won't really show up
in CYCSTATS once the conversion is done because
an individual is not cycling while pregnant
or lactating.  (So, no CYCSTATS rows will exist.
The individual will be recorded as lactating
in REPSTATS.)  All the same, the timing is
awfully tight.

Are there any data issues here or should I just
go ahead with the ORI2 cycle dates and offspring
birth date that are in foxpro?  (This is why I don't like to mess
with the data.)
