I know this is not what you want to hear Neil, but honestly, the best
way to get around this problem is to rewrite the one complex screen into
a series of interrelated screens. Break the problem into smaller, more
manageable pieces.  Quick was designed from the beginning to manage
complex transactions through interrelated screens.

If you side-step the problem by finding a way to shoehorn in more files,
you'll still run into the same problem the next time a new enhancement
comes up. The mess will only get worse.

I haven't really coded in PowerHouse for about 3 years now, but I worked
with it seriously for about 20 years before that and I've never once
even come close to the 31 file limit.  If you break the process up you
don't really end up with complex screens that are impossible to
maintain.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Matt

Hi all,=20

Tried to compile a Quick screen, but get the following error=20
*E* Too many files specified. The limit per screen is 31 files.=20

Is there workaround for this, any place where I can reset the limit or
do I have to try to rewrite this rather complex screen...

I'm running PowerHouse 8.19.D7 on a HP3000.=20

Thanks in advance,=20
