FREE & error -257

The maximum number of cursors and more generally number of statements allowed has bitten me in a couple of relatively large programs. The programs typically have several zooms, multiple lookups and several hot-key functions. I've gotten around getting -257 back in most instances by using a "free" statement, however, I curious if there exists an accessible variable for testing the number of cursors open at any one time. I believe there is another error number dealing with number of statements but I don't recall it now. If anyone can suggest a method for detecting a pending -257 before it happens I'd appreciate it. ------------------------------------------- Scott Holmes ---------------------- Informix 4GL Applications & Tweaking sholmes@net.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
