Insufficient memory error with Proc surveyreg

Prest — Tue, 07 Jan 2020 06:54:45 GMT

Hello

I am running Proc surveyreg on 9253 observations and a class variable of 4 levels. I am trying to perform an ANOVA test to compare mean across those levels.

However, I get the error "This procedure was cancelled due to insufficient memory".

What should I do? Any help is appreciated.

Run the following to determine the MEMSIZE

data _null_;
    FREERAM_MB=input(getoption('xmrlmem'),20.)/1024/1024;
    put FREERAM_MB= 8.;
run;

proc options group=memory; run;

In my eyes your MEMSIZE is most likely to small - talk to your Admins about it

You are describing a very small problem.

1. Please post the exact code you are submitting, including options

2. Please run the following code on simulated data and tell us if it runs successfully

data Have;
call streaminit(123);
do i = 1 to 9253;
   group = rand('Table', 0.3, 0.3, 0.2, 0.2); /* group = 1, 2, 3 or 4 */
   Y = 10 + group + rand('Normal');
   output;
end;
run;

proc surveyreg data=Have;
   cluster Group;
   model Y = Group;
run;
