I have a limitation that file size should be max of 4 GB so that it can pass through some transferring channel. Please let me know if there is any way to reduce the size of dataset without using COMPRESS option and the column length should be same as what available in database(means the column length and datatype should be same as that of database through which I am fetching data). .</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 06 Aug 2015 03:46:35 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Dataset-size-issue/m-p/193486#M48604 Pallavi_Varsh 2015-08-06T03:46:35Z
