Re: Error -4518: Cannot allocate any more space

Quoting Marien de Clercq... } } Can someone please help me with error -4518: } } "The 4GL program cannot allocate any more space for temporary } string storage." } } I sometimes get this error in reports. } This error can be caused by any of the following: 1) CASE statements without an OTHERWISE 2) CASE statements that look like this: CASE dummy_var WHEN 0 ..... WHEN 1 ..... WHEN 2 ..... END CASE instead of this: CASE WHEN dummy_var = 0 ..... WHEN dummy_var = 1 ..... WHEN dummy_var = 2 ..... END CASE 3) Reports with excessive string usage (ie. USING) I probably missed a few. Call tech. support, they faxed me something that showed examples of what caused the error and how to work around it. I found that by compiling it to an executable, the problem always goes away.
