5304 Conventional memory exhausted
Explanation: This is an "out of memory" message that indicates that
the CA-Clipper application no longer has sufficient conventional memory
available to continue.
Specifically, this error occurs when a function attempts to allocate
conventional memory and fails. This error can be received as a result
of the failure of _xgrab() in Extend System functions.
Action: Make more conventional memory available to the VM system.
This can be done in several ways:
. Increase the amount of conventional memory available before
running the application (by removing TSRs, making use of a 386 memory
manager, etc.)
. Use a third-party linker that can dynamically overlay C and
assembly language code. C and assembly language code is not
automatically overlaid by .RTLink and therefore sits in conventional
memory throughout the execution of the application.
. Ensure that any C or assembly language code in use is making
use of the virtual memory system if it is doing dynamic memory
allocation. Any memory allocated using the Fixed Memory Allocator
function (_xalloc() and _xgrab()) reduces the amount of conventional
memory available if it is not immediately freed.
