Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows 2000 allows
Windows 98
SYMPTOM(s):
Error when opening a file in AppBuilder
Too many files on your directory. The file list may not be inclusive
Windows 2000 allows user to continue
Windows 98 raises a gpf
CAUSE:
The error is called from the adecomm/_chosobj.w dialog, used to select objects from templates, images for the button and image widget, among other places.
The file_search is a C function compiled into a DLL.
This error indicates that the number of files in the directory exceed the memory (memptr) allocated for the processing the directory. The adecomm/_chosobj.w program uses a 'list-size' of 8000 (bytes). For example, this gives room 1000 files of 8 characters, including
separators (,). Or about 300 25-character long file names.
The 'list-size' parameter of the file_search can be as high as 32k (limit in Progress widgets).
Message is not dangerous but simply a result of an internal limit on the definition of a variable used to list files in a directory.
FIX:
Rebooting PC fixed the Win98 gpf.
