Overflow Error OPENing ISAM File with TYPE > 255 Elements (62773)
This article was previously published under Q62773
SUMMARY
An "Overflow" error will occur when you OPEN a file FOR ISAM with a
TYPE containing 255 or more elements. This is a limitation of the ISAM
engine of Microsoft Basic Professional Development System (PDS)
version 7.1 for MS-DOS and MS OS/2 and Basic PDS version 7.0 for
MS-DOS.
To work around this limitation, reduce the number of elements in the
main type by combining some elements into a nested type or into
arrays.
For information on a related record size limitation that may cause an
"Overflow" error with fewer than 255 elements, query on the following
words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
insert AND table AND isam AND overflow
