402.0. "Limit on Length of FRL Code ???" by MILPND::DANDREA (Love is the drug for me) Tue Mar 05 1991 16:05

    
    	Is there a LIMIT as to how LONG a FOCUS program
    	using FRL can be???  I have one that is ~750 lines
    	long from the FOR fieldname to the
                       .
                       .
                       .
        	      END   statement
    
    	and the last three recap categories do not add correctly.
    	I can't find an error in the code, and was wondering
    	if there is some sort of LENGTH limitation to FRL.
    	Thanks for your suggestions!

    I have been using FRL (FML) to produce a Balance Sheet. In making
    further additions to my file of FRL statements, I have come across
    the following error:
    
    FOCUS Error 093 Maximum number of Labels exceeded in FML.
    
    The maximum number of labels depends on the amount core available.
    Try increasing core.
    
    I have approx 125 lables including RECAP statements.
    
    Are there any special VAX parameters required? or any other
    suggestions?

                 -< One workaround for too many labels in FRL >-

    
    
    In the mean time, I have found a workaround for the problem of "too
    many labels" that I had. This workaround consist of POST intermediate
    totals to a workfile during my first FRL requst. Thereafter, I
    read this data back in another FRL request to create the summary
    that I needed.
    
    However, the problem still stands: How many FRL labels can one have
    in one request? Are there any special VMS settings that will alleviate
    the problem?

    I have raised a hot-line with IBI in the UK and am awaiting a reply
    from them.

	It seems 124 labels in one request. I have tried many different VMS
	settings but no one works for the moment.

    >I have raised a hot-line with IBI in the UK and am awaiting a reply
    >from them.

	So we have with the Software Technologyes ( Italy's 
	IBI representative ).

    I have had a reply from my Hotline to IBI. They inform me that it
    is probably a bug. They are not sure if IBI is going to fix the
    problem.
    
    I have left the Hotline open pending resolution so that IBI do not
