Re: problem with codebase 6.2

Hello

I'm still using Codebase 5 for my various projects.

I assume you're referring to error -920, e4memory, 'Out of Memory', which
I'd suspect is just the same in my version of Codebase.

I've never seen anything like you describe, so on the very limited info you
provide, I'm just guessing.

Does the file you refer to have Memos?   Does it use Index file(s)?  Both
these things are more likely to cause your problem than a simple record
append.

What are the sizes of the files, and associated Memo/Index files?

Your computer may have lots of memory, but at the point of the error, just
how much memory is the prog trying to grab?  I'd guess the prog is trying
to grap a LOT, for some reason, and it's trying to grab more than is
available.  Regarding an Index, if the index key contains a lot of very
similar data, then the updating of that Tag might be needing more memory
to resolve?

Another question, if you use something like DBU (Clipper) or say the CID
utility that comes with Codebase, do the files behave correctly then?  If
it works with DBU but fails with CID then the problem will be in the
Codebase code.  If it works with both, then something in your prog.  If
it fails with both, then look more at the datafiles (incl any Index).

By all means offer more info as suggested above.
