   5312     VM Swap File Overallocated

   This is an "out of memory" message that indicates that the Clipper
   application no longer has sufficient virtual memory available to
   continue.

   Specifically, this error occurs when the virtual memory system needs to
   swap a virtual memory segment out of conventional memory, and it has
   used all expanded memory and disk space that has been made available to
   it.

   Action:  Make more virtual memory available to the application.  This
   can be done by making more expanded memory available by increasing the E
   setting of the CLIPPER environment variable, or by making more disk
   space available by increasing the SWAPK setting of the CLIPPER
   environment variable.

   This problem can also be resolved by reducing the size and/or number of
   strings and arrays that are active at any one time.  Probably, the most
   common cause of this error is the declaration of extremely large arrays
   (e.g., LOCAL aArray[4096][4096]).  Note that every array element
   requires memory to store (even if its value is NIL) and that the number
   of array elements in an array is determined by multiplying the number
   of elements in every dimension and adding the sum of all dimensions
   except for the last.  For example, a 4096 by 4096 array has
   (4096x4096)+4096 or 16,781,312 elements.

   Because every array element in Clipper requires 14 bytes, this amounts
   to 16,781,312x14, or 234,938,368 bytes -- well in excess of the
   theoretical capacity of the virtual memory system.

   Note:  There is no benefit gained by reusing arrays.  Clipper is much
   more efficient when strings and arrays are thrown away and rebuilt
   often rather than kept around unnecessarily for long durations.
