The QKGO entry you refer to is not the number of file opens on a QUICK
screen. Rather it was the number of entries in the file table, a separate
table that QUICK used to keep track of physical file information through a
series of screens. The limit of FILE or CURSOR statements for a given QUICK
screen is 31 and there's no way to increase that.

Subject: Maximum number of files in a Quick screen



Once upon a time, it was possible to specify the number of files you could
open in a Quick screen by using a QKGO file.  In the execution time
parameters, there was an entry called "Files opened".  I am working on
MPE/iX 6.0 and PowerHouse 8.29.  I have a screen that is quite full and uses
many look-up files.  The error message indicates I am trying to open more
than 31 files.  I've search the 8.x documentation and so far, cannot find
any reference to a limit on the number of files per screen.

Is there still a way to open more than 31 files in a Quick screen? 

Thanks,
