The following error occurred on Friday afternoon:

   "FRM-40900 Unable to allocate record buffer. Clear form."

I was running:

    SQL*Forms Design 3.0.16.11.1

      Oracle Toolkit 01.00.20.00.00
              PL/SQL 01.00.34.04.00
            SQL*Menu 05.00.11.12.00

on a VAX mainframe running VAX/VMS V5.5-2

The error doesn't seem to be listed in

       SQL*Forms Designer's Reference (Version 3.0)     or Advanced SQL*Forms Techniques.

Just before the error occurred, it was executing a query that should have brought back about 250 fairly large records. I reckon that there was probably insufficient memory available to "allocate [the] record buffer[s]"...?

Has anyone else come across this error ...
