Running SAS 9.4 on UNIX I'm running into some space issues while doing a join between a few tables.
These are the error messages:
ERROR: Insufficient space in file WORK.'SASTMP-000000219'n.UTILITY.
ERROR: File WORK.'SASTMP-000000219'n.UTILITY is damaged. I/O processing did not complete.
ERROR: There is not enough WORK disk space to store the results of an internal sorting phase.
ERROR: An error has occurred.
I'm minimizing the number of datasets I keep on WORK putting them instead on the local drive. I'm using the COMPRESS option. This join is pretty critical to my process. How do I get around these error messages?
Sounds like wherever your WORK is writing too may be a shared area and as such you may need to ask your UNIX administrator to increase the disk space associated with this particular area.
