 Problem converting from basica to gwbasic

I have an old IBM database program called Personal Decision Series which
ran on a PS/2 Model 70 using basica, I'm trying to move the program over to
a new computer and substituting gwbasic for basica but I keep getting "out
of memory" errors while the program ran fine in basica on the PS/2.  Are
there different memory limitations between basica and gwbasic?  Is there
any modifications I can do to fix it?  Thanks for any answers anyone can

BASICA was specially designed by IBM to run on IBM-only machines.  It
ran from ROM, so there was more user memory available.  A much better
substitute would be QBasic, which is capable of running old BASICA and
GWBASIC code with no modifications in most cases.  You would have
more user mem in QBasic, plus your program would run much faster than
with GWBASIC.
