A question of Memory

[webpager]

I have an EPOS system which is operating at two remote locations, no network, just single machines. One of the machines crashes when I assign a number of Memvars. The machine is low on memory and the solution was to REPLACE items in the table rather than GATHER them.

My question is - Is REPLACE a lot more efficient method than SCATTER.

Not sure. Why don't you run some tests and let us know?

I can only go off my results so far.

Using several M.var etc. causes a fatal error.
Using REPLACE - app works fine.

I was just wondering if I'd solve the problem or was just a victim of coincidence.

Take a look at (and implement) faq184-3504

Not only does it 'do what it says on the tin', ie speed things up, but it also fixed a similar 'memory crashing' problem for me that you are experiencing now!
