I get an error on Cumulus when trying to view the data for a specific period.

Below are the steps to recreate the problem. I'm running build 991.

Just fix the two errors that it's telling you about.

And how would I go about doing that?

Open jan11log.txt in a decent text editor. Go to line 14614. Look for the problem; it will be obvious, a blank line or some sort of corruption. Fix it. Repeat with the other file.

Thanks Steve!

I found the data corruption and fixed it.

FYI, the particular line looked like the following..
Any idea why it would happen?

I don't know why it happens, but I have seen it before on occasion. Those "unprintable" characters are almost certainly NULs (ASCII zero). Cumulus doesn't intentionally write them, so I think some problem must occur somewhere in Windows or the Delphi runtime that causes it.
