Program Stack (AREV Specific)

Our big overnight batch process is beginning to creak at the seams, and has recently begun falling over with "Program Stack Full" errors (presumably because we've filled up the 299 available elements with a bunch of symbolics.)
In the meantime we've split processing into a series of spearate steps which gets round the problem all right, but I wondered if anyone knows of a way of clearing out this stack programmatically, which would be a cleaner and more scaleable solution?
TIA,
Cameron

Expendable subroutine might be the best.
If you are dealing with lots of symbolics, try this untested code..
Expendable Function CalcDict( AtRecord, AtField, AtDict, AtMV )
Declare Function CalculateX
RetVal=CalculateX( AtField, AtDict, AtID, AtRecord, AtMV )
Return RetVal
The CalcDict function should remove itself from the stack, along with the dictionary reference.

Best hurry up - you've got to give us time to lay in plentiful supplies of weak American lager (and don't anyone mention Coors in New Orleans…..)

Cameron,
try removing the CALL statements & declaring all programs, subroutines & functions as the CALL statement will cause the prgoram to be loaded AGAIN for each CALL

The DECLARE function is simply a compiler pre-directive to allow the omission of CALL statements. RTP29 the program loader checks the stack during a call and if the subroutine is there uses it again.
