After the execution of the first called program, I clear the work library (proc datasets with delete) so that the next program can still use the work library. <BR /> <BR /> I am wondering if doing this will allow that space to be reused or does SAS allocate more space for the next job? <BR /> <BR /> If it does not reuse the space is there a way to reclaim it for future use.<BR /> <BR /> I am having some space issues some of the time.<BR /> <BR /> Thanks for any clues.
