Summary:

Problem ID: PRSQL9201002

SYMPTOMS

SAF runs out of memory while repeatedly performing certain

operations that require displaying information in the form of a

message box.

SAF displays the following message:

Not enough free memory remains to continue with the current

operation. SAF must cancel this operation.

CAUSE

On an MS-DOS workstation, when SAF uses a character-oriented

message display box to display some information repeatedly (for

example, from the Admin menu, choose Display Current Users), the

above error message is displayed.

The number of times the operation is executed before the message

appears depends on the amount of available free conventional memory

for the application program.

WORKAROUND

Use stored procedures (such as sp_who) within SAF to obtain the

required information. Using stored procedures to perform operations

avoids the message box being displayed and prevents the above

error. Increasing the available conventional memory causes the

problem to appear less frequently.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server versions

1.1, 1.11, and 4.2. We are researching this problem and will post

new information here as it becomes available.
