- Hello world!
-
- This one is dedicated to all those who have ever had to struggle with
- Informix 4GL for MS-DOS.
-
- I've been working for sometime on a project on MS-DOS that uses
- Informix. The trouble is that one of the programs has grown somewhat
- large (2 MB on the executable file) and I started having problems with
- the "temporary string storage" (TSS) runtime error. The program is
- beeing compiled with MSC 5.1 and linked with .RTLink+ with VMS (in order
- to keep its image within DOS' 640K).
-
- I would like to know if anybody knows the answer to the following questions
- 1) where is TSS allocated? (heap, stack, other...)
- 2) when is TSS allocated? (function calls, i/o statements, ...)
- 3) when (if ever) is TSS freed?
- 4) is there any way to do some sort of garbage-collecting on the TSS?
- 5) what are the ways to prevent the TSS runtime error?
-
- Any answer to any of these questions would be much appreciated.
- Thanks guys!
-
- Pedro.
