Error "Not Enough File Handles" When Printing |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer is receiving the error message "Not Enough File Handles" when printing documents that are 1M or greater, and contain 100-200+ graphics images. The customer would like more information about how WordPerfect and DOS file handles work with the printing process. Solutions: The number specified in the FILE = # command in the CONFIG.SYS file is used to instruct DOS on the number of files that can be opened at one time. As WP is printing a document, the program may open a number of files, such as .GF1 (graphic virtual file), WP{WP}PJ.# (print file), etc. Included with these files could be files that are already opened, such as the document itself, .TV1 (top temporary file), .BV1 (bottom temporary file), WP.FIL, WP.EXE, WP{WP}.SET, keyboard files, .PRS file, display driver, etc. If you are printing a file that has a graphic figure set to "Graphic On Disk," WP will open that graphic file until it has finished processing it. Once the program has finished processing, the file will be closed and the file handle is released. The program will then move on to the next part of the document or the next graphic file. The number of graphics in a document will not determine the number of file handles needed, since they are opened and closed one after the other. If the graphics are included with the document there will be no graphic file opened, but WP will read it from the file itself. You may specify as many file handles as you want in the CONFIG.SYS file (e.g., FILES=200). If the customer finds that after printing several graphics the error "Insufficient File Handles" occurs, the problem could be with a device driver (TSR), or with the Operating System not allowing files to be closed as WP has requested. |
