| Q: | We faxed you the output of a SAS job that wouldn't
run—wouldn't even start to run. The error messages were
Estimated lines exceeded over and over again. Last
night I ran into the same problem with a completely different SAS
job. The first time I managed to run the job by running on SAS V609.
I'm going to try that with this job—but that doesn't solve
anything. These jobs should be able to run on SAS V8. (MM) |
| A: | The reason the program that you faxed to us did not run
correctly is that you specified REGION=1000K on
your EXEC statement. The solution
is to remove the REGION= parameter
from your EXEC statement. SAS V8
uses more resources for some tasks than were used in SAS V609. So,
when you use the REGION= parameter,
you are limiting the amount of resources available to the new SAS
and therefore your program. If some of your other jobs have been
working with this still specified, that is because they do not have
the same resource requirements as the jobs that are failing. We
recommend that you remove the REGION=
parameter from all of your SAS programs so that you
do not run into this problem again. Thanks for writing. (tlvh) |
