RE: memory size question

[Barry Baker <bbaker@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Ansley,

 

I've got it working now but not in the same OS.  I switched from Win2k to LINUX Redhat 9.0, set the memory/size=120 and it works like a dream!  One of the many problems with Win2k is that I couldn't set the memory greater than 30.

 

Thanks for all your help.

Cheers,

Barry

Hi Barry,
Here's one idea:  If you set memory=30 at the start of your session
and then do several operations that load various other chunks of
data into memory, you can finally run into the limit on a request
smaller than 30 Mwords. CANCEL MEMORY can help with this.

Dear Ferret Users,

 

I must be missing something.  I have set memory to SET MEMORY/SIZE=30 in my JNL file.  To my understanding this is equal to 30 million (4 byte) words.  But I get an ERROR message saying the following.

 

 **ERROR: insufficient memory: 11277600 words were requested

 

If I am counting correctly this is approximately equal to 11.3 million words.  So what am I missing here and how do I fix it?

 

Thanks in advance,

Barry
