        In one of my programs, I have need for several variables which are 
diminsioned to an array of 100, which are declared under a Record Type.. When 
I define the record and the file name in my VARS section, I'm told the 
structure is too large, then when I add the mb:array[1..50] of mbrec (Which I 
also need all 50 of the array), I'm told that there are too many variables.. 
Assumidly the only way past this is to use the pointers/linked lists with my 
record, yet I keep runnito problems doing such..  Here's what my section of 
code looks like..:

Type
mbrec=record
  t:array[1..100] of string[30];
  f:array[1..100] of string[25];
  tpc:array[1..100] of string[20];
  dte:array[1..100] of string[10];
  tme:array[1..100] of string[8];
  num:array[1..100] of integer;
  bnm:array[1..50] of string[20];
  mgs:integer;

Var
  mb:array[1..50] of mbrec;
  fm:file of mbrec;

        Any help in prodding me in the right direction? Thanks...
