Hi, we are working with a shared "temporary" tablespace for the work directory. As you all know, a SAS session is creating every time when it's opened a SAS_work and a SAS_util under - in our case - /var/opt/sas/temp. Sometimes, this tablespace is full and all running sessions are terminated with an I/O error. Last time when we head this issue, I have seen that endsas is not really ending a process on the server and closing/ending all remaining child processes and work tables. The Enterprise Guide stays open, a new session_id is creaded (new SAS_work, SAS_util are created), but the old _work and _util are remaining on the server until the user closes his Enterprise Guide. This leads to an unnecessary full temp space. Also cleanwork is not helping in this case. Do you have a solution for this? Otherwise my suggestion would be - for a further release - to link the EG session to the work space when endsas is executed. In the meantime my recommendation for our SAS users is run a kill statement on the work directory before executing endsas. This is helping temporarily. Best regards, SF
