Structures - I need a large number of variables

Question

My program has one structure template but I need to have an array of 3 Million of these templates. When I put more than 6,000 in for my number of variables the program comes up with memory errors in different lines of the code. Below 6,000 variables everything works as I expect it should.

Answer 1

I can now compile the following:
short int resultabl[26][30][3000000]; // [row][column][height]
int main() // main() is used for DB set up
extern short int resultabl[26][30][3000000]; /* 0 - 2,999,999 ie 3M 2D arrays */
int a, d, e;
// create and then initialize data base elements all = 0
for(a = 0; a <= 2999998; ++a) // a <= 2999999
for (e = 0; e <= 25; ++e) /* set row elements = 0 */
for (d = 0; d <= 29; ++d) /* set column elements = 0 */
     resultabl[e][d][a] = 0;
for (e = 0; e <= 25; ++e) /* row elements */
if(e <= 25)
printf("%d," "\n", e); // TEST
for (d = 0; d <= 29; ++d) /* column element */
printf( "%d,", resultabl[e][d][a]); // TEST
if (d == 29)
printf( "\n"); // TEST
printf( "\n \n permcalc = %ld, ", a); // TEST
return(0);
Build successful. Exit value 0.
*******But the run fails unless I reduce the 3,000,000 to 1,300,000. Then the run is successful every time - Tom
