file too big to compile

[Dan Anderson]

dB+ I have a .wfm that won't run because it says that it is "too big to
compile." What is that about?

[Glenn Johansen]

Are you sending paramaters to any functions that are very long in length?
Are there any very long lines of code?

Both of these could be the source of the problem.

Mostlikely you have a line that exceeds the limit in length. THis would
nclude continuation characters.

Dan,

How big is the file you are trying to compile? Does it have an large
number of objects? Do you use ; to continue several lines into one long
command?

[Bob Newman]

I ran into this problem when I used cretable.prg, IIRC. The total length of the the command, because of the many semicolons, was too long for Plus. Breaking it into a create section plus and add fields section solved the problem. In this case it was a bogus error message; it was a command line that was too long.

The number of spaces in the command line also affects the "too big to
compile" error - I reworked cretable to eliminate the extra spaces and
that helped on medium size tables

I do use the semicolon to break up one especially long text line. I am
generating an email that summarizes a group of certificates of insurance
which are attached. The catch is that the body of the email must be
developed using one long line. Would it see the line as too long if I break
it into a group of lines that are combined as one "cBody?" Here's the line
as it is right now.

Instead of building cBody in one LONG string, build it manageable chunk by
manageable chunk. By all means use line break markers (;) to break up the
iif() condtructs but it may make the code more readable if you were to
change to if...else...endif constructs. I may not have got the breaks in
the iif() constructs in the correct places (and I didn't finish the whole
thing) but this whould give you enough to go on with.



cBody = "This is to confirm coverage"+iif(nPolicies>1, "s", "")
cBody += " bound on your submission for '"+cFullName+":' "
cBody += CHR(13)+CHR(13)+"Effective date: "+
TRIM(cEffdate)+CHR(13)+CHR(13)
cBody += iif(cPD="Y", "Physical Damage "+TRIM(cPDpolicynumber)+"

HI Dan,

Just by looking at this it certainly looks too long. Have you actually
counted the characters.
One way to get around this is tp break up the cBody assignment.
cBody = "One very long line with in dbase limits"
cBody+= "Another very long line"
cBody+= "Yet another very long line"
cBody+=" ... and so on..."

I found sometime same error; the problem was a missing ENDIF in the code.
Compiling the file I reached "error in line 645 project.cc".
Please check the code.
