Large processing tables

[George Simon]

I've received a couple of private messages from other that this has
happened to, so at least I know I'm not alone.
Short of upgrading to 5.6 and the obvious solutions like moving some
code to called tables, is there any solution to this problem?

Here is what I have done so far:

I've eliminated some long-winded remarks and moved all declarations to
the bottom of the table, but it is still not enough.

Any other suggestions?

Pre-5.6, filePro processing was limited to 128K of compiled code.
This was increased to 2MB in the 5.6 release.  It's possible that
you have run into some problem related to this.

(Note that the tok file includes more than just compiled code -- it
also includes all variable definitions, lookup descriptions, string
literals, and so on.  There is no direct correlation between the
size of the tok file and the size of the compiled code.)
