If you look in the AMOS Pro manual, you will see this:
"...each dimension can have up to 65,000 elements."
The strange thing about this is that uncompiled, AMOS doesn't catch this
problem [or bug] (even if you go way over the limit; not sure how far,
though). However, if you compile the program, namely as a compiled AMOS
proggie, then it will quit with the error that you described.
Either way, it seems to be one of AMOS' limitations, and the only way
around it is to either 1) use less than 65,000 elements or 2) use an
alternative method for storing your arrays (ie. banks or sequential files).
