HUGE tok tables

[Nancy Palmquist]

Scott.

Are we talking bytes as displayed in the directory or the size you need 
to set PFTOKSIZE to get it to work?  In this case, I think they are related.

PFTOKSIZE, by my understanding, includes allocations for variables,  
arrays, long variables and dummies.
I discovered long ago that whenever possible you should assign a length 
to a variable or it defaults much longer.

I just tried this test:

DIM ARRAY(4000)(4000)

put this line in a table and tokenized it.  It was 32 K

Took out the DIM and put END and tokenized it.  It was 1K.

So I guess in the actual tok table it allocates includes space for 
variables, such as arrays.

How do you like that?  Learned something new today.
