Command prompt execution memory error

Question

Hello, I have a problem, I have written a program which uses 2 very large vectors. I edit it in edit plus and then run it from there via the user tools I created and it works great. However when I go in the DOS prompt and execute it 'java DataMatch' it will run for a few seconds and then give me an out of memory exception. Why does it run fine from edit plus yet give me an error from dos mode. Thanks in advance.

Here is the portion of the code which slows down the program only within console mode though
int j = 0, index = 0, counter;//j = # of records and where to start search, index = where the occurance is, counter=#of loop iterations
     int racfidMatch = 0, mailCount = 0, records = 0;
     String checkElement;
     String readExchange = exchangeStep2Readin.readLine();
     readExchange = readExchange.toUpperCase().trim();
     while (true)
     {     counter = 10;
          //System.out.println(records);
          records++;
          if (readExchange.equalsIgnoreCase("STOP")){
               break;}
          //System.out.println(readExchange);
          if (ldapDataVector.contains(readExchange))//we have a name match
               //System.out.println("Matching name = " +readExchange);
               System.out.println("Name matches = " +j);
               //now check for racfid
               index = ldapDataVector.indexOf(readExchange,j); //find first occurence starting at j
               //System.out.println("index = " + index);
               //now check for racfid
               readExchange = exchangeStep2Readin.readLine(); //read in next line of exchange file racfid
               readExchange = readExchange.toUpperCase().trim();
               counter--; //number of iterations left in current record
               j++;
               checkElement = (String)ldapDataVector.get(index+1); //get racfid
               if(checkElement.equalsIgnoreCase(readExchange))
                    racfidMatch++;
                    //System.out.println("matching racfid ID = " +checkElement); 
                    //System.out.println("Racfid matches = "+ racfidMatch);
                    //System.out.println(readExchange);
               for (int i = 0; i<counter ;i++ )
                    readExchange = exchangeStep2Readin.readLine();
                    readExchange = readExchange.toUpperCase();
                    if (readExchange.equalsIgnoreCase("STOP")){
                    break;}
                    if (i == (counter-2)) //icounter - 2 is place where email stored
                    checkElement = (String)ldapDataVector.get(index+9);
                         if(checkElement.equalsIgnoreCase(readExchange))//now check for a matching email
                         {     mailCount++;
                              //System.out.println("matching mail address = " + checkElement);
                              //System.out.println("Mail Matches ="+ mailCount);
               continue;
          for (int i = 0; i<counter ;i++ )
               readExchange = exchangeStep2Readin.readLine();
               readExchange = readExchange.toUpperCase();
               if (readExchange.equalsIgnoreCase("STOP")){
               break;}
     }
