Hello,
I’m running a SAS 9.4 M5 under Linux and I got an error message while extracting data from a SQLSVR libname (note that I added a obs=1, with obs=0 it works).
data error_test;
set clmcntr2.ccx_historysnapshot_pv (obs=1);
run;
ERROR: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of insufficient memory.
Then I decided to check the DB configuration:
proc sql;
connect using clmcntr2 as temp;
select * from connection to temp
(select * from master.sys.configurations);
disconnect from temp;
quit;
I get the same error message.
Here is the table’s description:

PrevAssignedManagerReference char(1024) format=$1024. informat=$1024. label='PrevAssignedManagerReference'
);
If I drop at least 3 columns (char(1024)), I can generate 2 dataset then join them. The goal is to understand why this behavior is happening, as the same codes work in Production and worked before in Development.
The same error occurs via Proc SQL pass-through.
options sastrace=',,d,d' sastraceloc=saslog nostsuffix;
proc sql;
connect using clmcntr2 as temp;
Create table ccx_historysnapshot_pv as
select * from connection to temp
(select top 5 * from ccx_historysnapshot_pv);
disconnect from temp;
quit;

If you any ideas, it would be very nice 🙂
Thanks,
