Clipper error base 1133, help needed

[gudle]

We have been using a clipper application successfully on different computers & platforms for some years now. However, the application does not run on our newest computer:
Toshiba Equium 2000 (P3-650) with Win98 SE.
I have tried starting in DOS mode and tweaked all the DOS window options I could find but nothing works.
The error message is always:
ERROR BASE/1133 Bound error: array assign
The application runs without problems on other computers with Win98 SE.
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, this is not much help but I had a similar problem on 3 of about 100 PC's. They were Pentium I 200 or thereabouts although they are all running Win 95. I have not got to the bottom of it yet either. Ian Boys

Probably not much help either, but just in case...

Norton guide of error:

BASE/1133 Bound error: array assign

Explanation: When attempting to assign a new value to
an array element, the subscript specified was greater
than the number of elements in the array.

Action: Correct the program. The LEN() function can
be used to determine the number of elements in an
array. The AADD() and ASIZE() functions can be used
to change the size of an array.

Do you have the debugger available to see exactly what line is going wrong as that may help you find the answer.

Another thought, is that your fastest processor? Perhaps it is on the borderline for the R6003 problem. Is __wait_b.obj linked or the latest Tools III?

Hi HotEye
The thing is, it worked on other PC's, but specifically not three Windows 95 (though other '95 were OK)PC's. I've changed the memory management around a lot now and it seems OK. These were slower rather than faster PC's.

Still doesn't help a lot though!

Sorry to have been no help, thought I would try just in case.

Bozz & HotEye
Thanks for your comments up to now.

For us it is the fastest processor. Do you think it could be a programming problem (I don't have the debugger but I could get hold of the original programmer) or is it most likely a memory management problem? If it is a memory proble, any ideas which settings could be tried?

Could changing platforms (now Win98) help?

Thanks again

I've changed from Clipper 5.01a to 5.2e and changed the memory management a lot and the problem did go away. Looking back to the first post, a P3-650 is not really fast by today's standards - a lot of my stuff is on 1GHz+ processors, so I don't think speed is the problem. Things to try might be:

Set Clipper=F150;E0 or, if you already have E0 take it out.
Replace the 150 with your current settings.

Run Memmaker - make sure you backup config.sys and Autoexec.bat so you can go back.

Good luck Ian Boys

Have you tried Blinker 6.0 as a linker? it works fine in windows's based plattforms. Any speed.

regards.

Thanks for all your input. The problem has been solved with a different linker.
