- I have a program I wrote which ocassionally generates Insufficient Memory
- errors. Usually there are 6 databases open at the same time and ocassionally
- 8. They get the error when they are entering data after about 40 or so
- records get entered, they see the error. After the 40 records get entered,
- they have about 100 records in the different databases. We are running dos 5.0
- with foxpro 2.2 and 4 meg of memory on the one system. The databases are being
- accessed on a non-dedicated, (we tried to tell them to get Lantastic) Novell
- server.
-
- Is there a command I can run ocassionally during the execution of the program
- which will cut down and possibly reclaim unused memory? I was hoping there
- was some sort of garbage collection routine that can be invoked once in a
- while during the execution cycle of the application.
-
- Thanks for any and all replies.
