Dear Mapbasic Developers
Thanks to the community members who responded to my question concerning some
MapBasic 6 programs that were overflowing my Windows page file.
With Windows/NT you can easily observe the progress of this fatal disease --
aka a "memory leak" -- by running the program: Start>Admin Tools>Windows NT
Diagnostics>Memory and watching the value of "PageFile Space/Total In Use"
gradually increase to fill the entire pagefile.sys file and bring Windows
down.
Briefly, suggestions included:
* Pack the output table periodically
* Commit the output table periodically
* Create the table in two stages, MID/MIF then Table>Import
* Use MapInfo 5.5
The winner was Phil Waight, who said "I believe MI 6 does have memory
problems, from a few utilities that I run from time to time. Use MI 5.5" .
After recompiling with MapBasic 5.5 and running with MapInfo 5.5 my program
now performs as designed and terminates normally.
Thanks again Phil.
Regards
