>I'm writing some database upgrade programs that use portions of code (create views mostly) generated from GenDBC. My program is 85k. I know there is a 64k limit on compiled programs, but I read that starting in VFP6 GenDBC avoids this error in the result code it generates. How does it do this and can I build that into my program? We are doing a bunch of upgrades and I find it significantly annoying to have to create a driver program to run a bunch of other programs just to get around this error. Is there another way?

Please note that:

a) The limitation is for the compiled version, not for the source code.

b) The limitation is for each procedure, not for each PRG. If you divide a large program into several FUNCTIONs or PROCEDUREs, you may not note any limitation at all.
