Only first N dataset were added to the project

Hi SAS Users,

This morning when I try to run a macro for 64 files( each file contain 45 sheets), there is a log like that occur (I am using SAS EG)

I am wondering if it is a major error, can anyone please explain to me what happens besides this note or what this note is for?

Warm regards.

Please read:

However depending on the size of those sets you might still run into disk space settings controlled by your admin.

No error has occurred. EG by default limits the number of datasets added to a project - see @ballardw 's link. You will still find all 135 datasets in your WORK library. Your SAS log tells you if you got any actual errors or not.

Thank you @SASKiwi and @ballardw

Can I have one more question?

My results presented as below:

While I think ARG_SHEET23 should be not at the top of the result Table like that, do you think it is also a minor thing and not an error at all. But if it is a major, I may create a new topic to ask for your idea about that.

Warmest regards.

@Phil_NZ - Could that be the last of the 50 datasets added? Possibly a minor bug, but not one I personally would waste any time on.
