When is the last time reloaded / packed the database? If you haven’t done this 1st thing is to make a copy and of the database then try the reload watch for any errors.
Also check the temp file for left over .$$$ files. To delete these exit R:Base then while in the temp folder sort by extension then highlight and delete. You could also go to DOS prompt and change folder / directory to the temp folder then DELETE *.$$$ Buddy From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Doug Hamilton Sent: Monday, April 10, 2017 5:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - Rbase crashing... Any ideas on how to fix? Make sure all variables are typed OUTSIDE the WHILE loop: set var vSomeData1 TEXT set var vSomeData2 TEXT WHI.. (code) set var vOtherData TEXT *( <-- Not in a WHI loop ) set var vSomeData1 = .vSomeData2 *( <-- OK ) (code) ENDW This can cause weird problems, although I'm not sure it would crash a reload.

I realize that upgrading RBase is the normal recommended resolution however that is not an option for me at this time so I need to find a way to get around my issue and any help would be appreciated. If questions relating to legacy Rbase 4.5++ are acceptable in this forum then... As my number of rows has grown I've started experiencing problems with RBase just crashing back to DOS without any error messages. I now have 142,000+ records in my largest table. (I remember hearing years ago that others have had millions of records without any problems using this version.) I used to be able to get around the problem by turning whileopt off and tracing the procedure but it now happens repeatedly even doing that. It also happens in the middle of a reload to a new copy of the database or an update to this "larger" table. I have Win XP SP3, 4GB memory, 2.5GB free disk space. I've tried updating the DOS4GW version... vv1.97 didn't fix, v2,01 wouldn't run because of "-quiet" parameter error but was able to get v2.61 to "work" but still has the crashing problem. I've tried multi-user, single user, staticdb on/off, increasing files setting, etc. Since there are no error messages I don't know where to continue my attempts to work-around. Is there a way to turn on debug output upon a crash? Any help would be appreciated.
