On a new system with more physical ram than the old one
(2 gig now, 1 gig before), when I execute the following rexx
code the system churns and hangs and eventually (a long
tim) there is an error message saying memory full

/* */
src = sysfiletree('*',dirdata.,'FT')
say src
exit

Sysfiletree is a rexx utilty function that just loads all the
names of files in a directory into an array. There are only
800 file in the directory in question. This works without trouble
and instantly on all my other os2/ecs machines.

So now on a newly configured machine somehow all available
memory is being used up.

Does anyone have any ideas about what configuration parameter
may be the trouble? I've looked through config.sys for clues but
haven't seen them, but I've never encountered anything like this
and am not sure what to look for.

Thanks,

Tim Stephen

The code works fine, for me, on my 2 GiB system. I think I would be
seriously looking at doing a memory test.

is highly recommended...

One other thing, but it doesn't really seem to make any difference, is
that the code should be:
/* */
src = sysfiletree('*','dirdata.','FT')
say src
exit

with the word dirdata. in quotes (at least that is what the examples
show).

Most likely VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT. Try to lower it's value.
