Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

■ You have run out of data space.
 
■ Possible solutions:
 
  • Use a smaller file buffer in the OPEN statement's LEN
    clause.
 
  • Use the $DYNAMIC metacommand to create dynamic arrays.
    Dynamic array data can usually be much larger than
    static array data.
 
  • Use fixed-length instead of variable-length string arrays.
 
  • Use the smallest data type that accomplishes your task.
    Use integers whenever possible.
 
  • Avoid using many small procedures. Visual Basic creates
    several bytes of control information for each procedure.
 
  • Use CLEAR stack to modify the size of the stack. Use only
    enough stack space to accomplish your task.
 
  • Reduce the number of modules in your program.
 
  • Delete any unused code.
