R-code Greater than 63KB
The r-code can be greater than 63KB for many reasons:
- Progress makes r-code big if there are a lot of fields in the file (whether the fields are referenced or not).
- Long validation expressions.
- Long help messages or validation messages.
- In decimal items with Query enabled expand to a complicated expression to support “.” or “,” as the decimal character.
- Complicated forms or long labels.
- Long formats.
To shrink the r-code:
- Eliminate all Browse fields. (Enter no in the Brow? column in Which Fields on Form in the Form Definitions for Query menu.)
- Eliminate all Add/Update/Copy fields. (Enter no in the Upd? column in Which Fields on Form in the Form Definitions for Query menu.)
- Eliminate all Query fields, and use the Where option instead. (Enter no in the Qry? column in Which Fields on Form in the Form Definitions for Query menu.)
- Consider using one form for Query and a different one for Add/Update/Copy.
