When my co-worker runs this command on his PC, he gets no error (he has more RAM) - could this be a RAM issue?<BR /> I am running SAS9.1 TS Level 1 M3 if that means anything.<BR /> <BR /> Please help me resolve this before I throttle myself.<BR /> <BR /> <BR /> Serge Tue, 05 Sep 2006 18:58:05 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/Utility-File-not-found-proc-sort-error/m-p/1375#M416 deleted_user 2006-09-05T18:58:05Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/Utility-File-not-found-proc-sort-error/m-p/1376#M417 A workaround is to use TAGSORT.
