long variable issue

[Richard Kreiss]

FP support replied that I was nowhere near the limits .  However, when I commented out and removed long variables that were not being used in this process, as I copied a previous process that did a similar thing, the issue with the long variables not accepting assignment disappeared.

So, the takeaway is that there is a limit to the number of long variables, dummy fields, etc. that filePro can handle.  Oh, if you are having an issue with long variables not accepting and assignment but are listed when F6 DL are pressed to list the long variables it is listed, it does not mean that the variable is useable.  Consider removing some of them, if possible.  I still don't know if the count is based on the number of long variables in a current process plus those in a called process or just the called process. I removed 6 long variables and cleared up the issue I was having. So look to your declared value and possible move what you can to a declared global, with the variables being defined in an auto process table not your current processing table. Use declare extern, that way you will limit the number of declared long variables being used at any one time.
