proc stdrate (java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException)

I am using the proc stdrate to calculate Incidence Rate Ratios (IRRs). The code looks like this:

ods graphics on;

proc stdrate data = exposed_reduced refdata = richmond_reduced

method=indirect

stat=rate

;

population event=observed_total total=pyear_total ;

reference event=observed_total total=pyear_total ;

strata post_strata rank_strata agegrp_cancer_1 year_cancer / smr ;

run;

ods graphics off;

However, I am getting the following error:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

ERROR: Physical file does not exist, S:\SAS\SAS Temporary Files\_TD5952_WINSASAPP_\_D8C36FB10FE46E89B6E9441823BB839.bmp.

From my searching it appears the problem occurs when you have relational data and have a large number of rows to report.

Any ideas how to get around this?

Thank you!

Andrew

Java errors usually relate to graphics, try turning odd graphics off.

But I'd contact tech support to see what's going on. If you're running on a server the server may not have the right java installed.
