I doubt you really want to get rid of  E000034, you just want to get  
rid of that particular price pair.  This problem had arisen several  
times in the past, and I am not aware that there is any definitive  
explanation of why, or what to do about it.  E000034 is the ID of one  
of the securities you own.  If your data file is .kmy, then you can do  
"zgrep data.kmy" and it will show you the name of that security, the  
actual stock account which hold that security, and any price-pairs for  
it.  You probably do need E000034 -> MZN, but not the other way around.

My current best guess, which is still only a guess, it that some  
investment transaction for that security was entered in a way that the  
program wanted to figure out the number of shares per MXN instead of  
how many MXN per share.

My temporary advice is to just ignore it.  It is annoying, but it  
doesn't hurt anything.
