SYMPTOMS
FoxBASE+ displays the &quot;Too many PICTURE characters specified&quot; error message and stops processing.



CAUSE
The BUCKET statement in the CONFIG.FX configuration file does not reserve enough space to hold the picture clause. GET clauses, their associated PICTURE clauses, RANGE clauses and VALID clauses are stored in the area specified by the BUCKET clause.



RESOLUTION
Modify the CONFIG.FX file to specify a larger value in the BUCKET statement. The allowed range of values is from 1 to 32. The default value is 4.
