Very helpful in reports with lookups. Each lookup takes on average 6 memory handles. If you get the -ERROR- message "Out of dynamic memory handles", you may want to try by starting R:BASE with the -H option. This let you increase the number of memory handles R:BASE can use. Keep in mind that the number of additional memory handles is limited by the size of the memory area where the memory handle entries are allocated. You CANNOT allocate more than 460 memory handles. If you need more than that, you SHOULD examine your application and use the feature requiring the memory handles. For example, replace lookups in reports by a VIEW, providing speed improvements as well as using fewer memory handles. -K1024 (Memory Allocation) RBASE65 -K1024 allocates memory in 1 MB chunks. R:BASE allocates 128K of memory when processing Expressions, WHILE loops and Sorting. When more memory is needed, another 128K chunk is allocated. -K option gives you the opportunity to increase amount . You can tell R:BASE to allocate 1024K (1 MB) of memory right off the bat for processing, and memory continues to be allocated in 1 MB chunks. Hope that helps!
