QBASIC memory problem

Unknown

My program is getting so big and has so many shared arrayed variables and subs that when I try to run it it gives a "Out of String Space" error. I usually compile it to test it when it gets to that point, but now it won't even let me compile it, it gives a "program-memory overflow" when I try. I included the CLEAR command and the $DYNAMIC command at the beginning of the program and I still get this. Does anyone know how to get around this or allocate more memory for my program?

This is really one of the most vexing problems one can encounter

in programming, because there's not a lot of attractive options at this

point:

1) Get an XMS/EMS library and use extended memory to store some variables

in. However, this isn't necessarily easy...

2) Write data that is not being immediatly used to file, then erase the

dynamic data structure and reallocate the memory. This tends to degrade

performance.

3) Cut down on variables, delete stuff.

4) Find a new compiler, a 32-bit or DOS-Extended one that allows you to

use XMS as normal mem.

This can be a problem. A long time ago when programmers could only have 640K of RAM they had the same trouble. Then one liners(programs written in one line), were praised. They did so much on one line. an example would be.

CLS: PRINT "COOL: END

useing the colon to represent a return

use this in some places in your program, it will help some, trust me!
