Hi,

I'm running a programme which involves several thousand regressions, using proc reg. The program is failing near completion and I get the following log:

I could be leading you completely astray, but it looks like it could be something to do with hash tables.

There's a hotfix here you can download:

I wonder if your running out of physical space. Are there any limits on your work space?

Thanks, I'll install that and re-run the script.

I'm working on a stand-alone laptop with 8 GB RAM- is that what you were referring to?

No, your using Base SAS 9.4?
