<QUOTE>
The LISTDICT EMP function breaks when I try to sort the output.  This

problem only happens with the EMP file.  I have over 400K expanded

memory avaiable. I talked with Ceridian guy, he says, memory or

indexing. Does anyone know for sure. The actual error message is:



'V45' Line 1.  B703 Variable exceeds maximum length.



Line 1 'V45' broke because a run time error was encountered.

!



The line I'm executing is 'LISTDICT EMP'

<QUOTE>Variable exceeds maximum length messages are not related to available memory. This is one of the messages that actually means what it says in all cases I am aware of. Judging by the symptoms, my bet is that one of the following applies to you:



* you have a quickdex on DICT.EMP that is maxing out. If you do, take it off.

* Your %FIELDS% record in the EMP dictionary is maxing out. This happened to us (over 1300 data fields plus symbolics). Our solution to this problem was to retire unused fields and do a little manual manipulation of %FIELDS%.



If this seems to be your problem and you need further assistance, feel free to email me directly.

<QUOTE>It is a memory issue within the %fields% in the EMP dictionary

 

you need to do some maintenance on your dictionary. delete unused fields, shorten names delete the %temp% items.  



I have a utility that reports where, when and how each dictionary

item is used.  if you need to determine what to delete or move

or modify.
