SAS program/script to abort if it exceeds 100 GB of disk space

Gooty5 — Tue, 10 Jul 2018 15:57:11 GMT

Hi - Is there a program/script to abort sas program if it exceeds 100 GB of disk space in sas work filesystem? We would like to use this to stop any programs/tasks that exceeds this limit in our SAS environment. Your suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thanks

What OS does your SAS servers run on? You would be better off just setting individual user space limits then SAS jobs will fail anyway if they exceed the limit.

Use file system quotas for individual users, and thorough testing of code that needs to be run without limits (eg from the scheduler).

Hi SASKiwi - We are on Linux. Do you have syntax for setting individual user space limits (/sasdata/sastemp) in Linux? Really appreciate your help.

Thank You
