I am designing a Clipper S'87 program in W98. I keep running up against the 15 file limit at execution time (DOS file error "4" - too many files no file handles left), although in DOS 3.30, you could have up to 254 files open concurrently. I have tried the "files=254" in the config.sys, and "set clipper = F254" in the batch file used for executing the application. No luck. Think I may need to tell Clipper I am using MS-DOS 3.30?? If so, how?
Does anyone know how I can get Clipper to permit more files to be open simultaneously? Thanks
I suspect that since there are only 255 handles available in dos, clipper is eating up 254 of them leaving none for dos devices such as your screen or the printer.
I would suggest you move from s'87 to at least 5.2. It is much cleaner.
