==== Memory Issues using OI32 Bit (OpenInsight 32-Bit) ====

<QUOTE>
I am encountering several weird issues when performing certain Iterative tasks using OI 32bit.



If I need to call a function from within a loop. Eg. I need to scan all tables and then scan all fields within each dictionary to perform a certain task.

The process will not work correctly unless I perform a call message between one table and the next.



It seems as though something is going wrong in memory and the message seems to be fixing the problem.



View the sample code below:



SCAN @TABLES

READ %FIELDS% FROM WITHIN THE DICT TABLE

**CALL MESSAGE TO CLEAR MEMORY

LOOP THRU FIELDS

ERROR=CALL FUNCTION VERIFY FIELDS

IF ERROR THEN STORE ERROR IN VARIABLE

REPEAT

GOTO NEXT TABLE READ





IF I DO NOT USE THE MESSAGE THEN ONCE THE SYSTEM ENCOUNTERS AN ERROR FROM THE CALLED FUNCTION, THIS ERROR IS PASSED THROUGH ALL THE NEXT FIELDS WITHIN THE TABLE LOOP. 

IF I PLACE THE MESSAGE IT WORKS FINE





Any Suggestions

<QUOTE>David - could you post the entire program?? The algorithm doesn't give us enough to go on.



Thanks,

<QUOTE>Thanks for your interest but I solved the Problem.



(Spoke with Andrew Mc Cauley!)



The problems was that I had to insert a Call Set_Status(0) in the iterative statement.



It seems as though when a status error is encoutered in OI32 it is not automatically reset so the error keeps passing through the loop.



This statement solved the problem.



Thanks again Andrew
