Q005 EDIT LIMIT (xxxxx) EXCEEDED

Q:

Why do I receive message Q005 EDIT LIMIT (xxxxx) EXCEEDED, but my actual number of records has NOT exceeded number given.

A:

This MAY happen if you are adding records at the end, and all the 'freespace' precedes that. Qedit only looks FORWARD for free space in its table to accept new entries. To prevent this message, set FREESPACE=N (either during installation or in the passed commarea).
