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'

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.

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.
