Hi Colin.

 

I'm at panel 84 and I need at least 5 more, so I think I'll be okay with the
99 limit for now.  When I first started using DP in 1986, I never thought I
would even come anywhere near the original limit of 80.  It's incredible
that DP has kept up with us for over two decades.  I'm hoping I can extend
it a few more years.

 

Thanks Lew, wherever you are.

 

Thanks for the info Colin.

 

Ed.

Hi Ed,

 

>From Ralph's book:

Here's a table outlining DataPerfect's various specifications:

DataPerfect Specifications

.IND file 1 per application 8 gigabytes

.TXX file 1 per application 534,773,728 bytes

Data Files 99 per application 2 billion bytes each

Fields 125 per panel (or

data file)

Numeric: 14 digits

record

I've got copies of text files that Lew included from DP26f onwards - and no
mention of increase from 99 panels in any of them (thats 26f,g & h & x)

I know it was originally 80 fields in a panel and suspect the 80 panels was
increased 99 when the number of fields was increased to 125 and I think that
occured in DP23c when the F5 function was restricted

Hope this helps - you should have 27 panels still to go :-)

Regards

Colin Roberts

Hello everyone.

 

The most recent official DP Manual copy I have is the DP23 manual and it
states maximum 80 panels for DP23.

 

I was wondering if anyone knows if this limitation remains true for the
later DP26x version.

 

My database is currently up to 72 panels and I may need to add more.

 

Advance thanks for the info.

 

Ed
