Huge

[Maurice de Laat]

Using PB/DOS 3.2. Can somebody explain to me why I get an
error 9 (subscript out of range) on the line with the dim
statement in this little program?

Thanks.
Maurice

sub test
dim HUGE keuze(1:38000) as local string
end sub

call test

In PB/DOS 3.2, HUGE arrays must have subscripts in the integer range of -32768 TO 32767 (ie, up to 65,535 subscripts).

In PB/DOS 3.5, huge arrays can be anywhere in the LONG integer range (ie, up to 4,294,967,295 subscripts, but usually a lot less since they must fit into conventional memory!).

PB/DOS 3.5 also supports VIRTUAL arrays (using EMS memory) and VIRTUAL arrays use the LONG integer range for subscripts, and each VIRTUAL array is limited to a whopping 32Mb.
