You're only allocating 48 bytes for the record here:
recHandle = DmNewRecord(CTABDB, &index, sizeof(newRecord));
sizeof(newRecord) = sizeof(CTABRecord) = 12 pointers, not 12 strings of some maximum
size.
You need to allocate a working buffer large enough to hold the maximum lengths of all
your fields, pack the strings into it, shrink, then store. Obvious optimizations
include a record length calculation preflight before the initial DmNewRecord to reduce
use of the memory manager, etc.
