Unable to allocate sufficient memory error

Tpham — Wed, 26 Mar 2014 14:27:37 GMT

I am trying to figure out how exactly to fix this issue. So I am running a SAS server program (remote desktop into a Windows server machine.. use SAS from there). I am trying to do a 4 way interaction to check my code to ensure I created my variables correctly and I seem to get an error

6674 proc freq data=disease;

6675 table time_diag*date_screen*date_diag*diagy / list missing;

6676 run;

ERROR: Unable to allocate sufficient memory. At least 725504K bytes were requested. You must

either increase the amount of memory available, or approach the problem differently.

I do not have admin access to the server. Does anyone know any work around to get this to run?

A standard technique to reduce memory requirements:

proc sort data=disease;

by time_diag;

run;

proc freq data=disease;

by time_diag;

tables date_screen*date_diag*diagy / list missing;

run;

The report format will change but the result is likely to be acceptable.
