SUMMARY
If you are running Microsoft Excel for Windows with OS/2 version 2.0, you may receive the following error message

Not enough memory if the DPMI_MEMORY_LIMIT is set too low for the Microsoft Excel WIN-OS/2 session.

MORE INFORMATION
OS/2 version 2.0 has the ability to run Microsoft Excel for Windows in a WIN-OS/2 session. Each WIN-OS/2 session has settings that control how that session runs.

The DPMI_MEMORY_LIMIT setting defines the amount of DPMI (MS-DOS Protected Memory Interface) available to a particular WIN-OS2 session. The default value for this setting is 2 megabytes (MB). Increasing this setting for the Microsoft Excel WIN-OS/2 session will provide more memory to Microsoft Excel.

If the application has been migrated, use the following steps:


 * 1) Select the icon
 * 2) Click the right mouse key, then choose settings
 * 3) In the Win/OS2 Settings section, scroll down until you see DPMI Limit = (Example) &quot;2&quot;
 * 4) Change the 2 megabyte setting to (example) &quot;12&quot; or whatever setting is appropriate for your system
