However, when I set the ODS close statement to "ods html close" the memory error goes away and the memory used by the system is much less. Is there a reason why this happens?

You can either close those destinations manually in your code, or you can de-select all output types in the options.</P> Wed, 01 Mar 2017 05:49:18 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/ODS-and-Base-Reporting/Memory-Errors-when-creating-a-Word-doc-with-ODS/m-p/336849#M18048 Kurt_Bremser 2017-03-01T05:49:18Z
