String of exclusions failed.

We are in a conversion where a list of six digit numbers needs to be excluded from an existing report. As new ones are added we have an ever longer string of "grep -v" commands like:
Code:
  grep -v 020516 | grep -v 020522 | grep -v 030132 | \
  grep -v 030330 | grep -v 030357 | grep -v 050111 | \
  grep -v 070301 | grep -v 070319 | grep -v 070321 | \
  grep -v 090907 | grep -v 090914 | \
   ...........

Today we got "fork failed - too many processes"

The above is preceded by a grep that reads the report to filter out lines without an error code and pass them to many lines of "grep -v"s.

My question is how to fix this? Is there a better way to exclude lines than a string of "grep -v" commands?

TIA

We are using SCO Unix.

wsprintf(3C)						   Standard C Library Functions 					      wsprintf(3C)

NAME
wsprintf - formatted output conversion SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h> #include <widec.h> int wsprintf(wchar_t *s, const char *format, /* arg */ ... );); DESCRIPTION
The wsprintf() function outputs a Process Code string ending with a Process Code (wchar_t) null character. It is the user's responsibility to allocate enough space for this wchar_t string. This returns the number of Process Code characters (excluding the null terminator) that have been written. The conversion specifications and behavior of wsprintf() are the same as the regular sprintf(3C) function except that the result is a Process Code string for wsprintf(), and on Extended Unix Code (EUC) character string for sprintf(). RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, wsprintf() returns the number of characters printed. Otherwise, a negative value is returned. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | |MT-Level |MT-Safe | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
