Error Message
117 ISAM error: bad custom collating sequence.
Error Details
The ISAM processor needed to allocate memory for data storage but was unable to do so. A problem may exist in the operating system; look for operating-system error messages that might give more information. One cause of this error might be selecting a row that contains large BYTE or TEXT columns into a temporary table or as part of an INSERT or UPDATE. In some releases, an entire row that includes BLOB values is buffered in memory. For C-ISAM programs, review the program to look for ways that it can use less memory. For SQL products, simplify the program, form, or report if possible.
