Prevent MediTech Screen Crashing

When programming screen attributes you can use the local symbol table or the /slash file to store data. The local symbol table is limited to 1K of data. The local symbol table will overflow and crash the screen if you exceed the 1K limit. Since MediTech uses the local symbol table, you have no idea how much data will be stored in the local symbol table.

Best Practice: Do not use the local symbol table for arrays. Using the /slash file is the preferred storage area for your values. The /slash file is allocated 1K at a time as needed.
