Problem Note 1063: Memory leak in several places linked to text entry controls
On Win95 or Win98, you may experience a memory leak (memory being used
but not freed) whenever text entry controls are moved or resized. This
actually happens behind the scenes quite often.
For example, since the Data Table object in a SAS/AF FRAME entry uses a
text entry control by default when a cell is activated, you may
experience the memory leak there if you edit and scroll and perform such
tasks as copying and pasting. A manifestation of this problem is that
you may see text carried over when you move from cell to cell and values
may appear gray. A Data Form object uses text entry controls to
represent the columns by default so you may see the memory leak if you
do not have a dataform entry specified.
Since the table view of VIEWTABLE is made up of a Data Table object and
the form view is made up of a Data Form object with no dataform entry
specified by default , you may see the memory leak in VIEWTABLE as well.
The Properties Window, which can be displayed while in build mode on a
FRAME entry, is made up of a data table object so it may also experience
the memory leak when you switch from one control to another to assign
their properties.
This problem is fixed in the version 8.1 TS1M0 release of the SAS
System.
