If users of the list got this response, sorry, I got the dreaded "unable
to send. . ." message when I tried the first response, and since I
haven't gotten it yet, here goes again. . .


Ian -

We ran into similar problems here, and here is what I can tell you. . .
The error has something to do with too many lines of code and
parameters.

The good news: SQR Version 4 fixes the problem.  We have successfully
compiled our largest programs (Bank statements and bills).

The bad news: I spoke with the SQRibe people, and this problem will not
be addressed in the ver 3 products.  SQR Version 4 has some date bugs,
so if you go that route, get the version in which they are fixed (4.3.2
I think).

The ugly news: We worked around our problem in Version 3 by doing the
following -
        Check the debug lines - We couldn't compile with them, but
squeaked by without (barely).

        Check your libraries - If you have some large libraries, and you
are not using all the routines in them, either  break up the libraries
into smaller chunks (not always practical - other progs using), or clip
only the code   you need from the libraries an make a new one (be sure
to document this so people know to change in both       places.)

If anyone has a better workaround, I'd be glad to hear it!
