Hi,

I am trying to work on a large dataset (8 GB). This is what I have done so far.

1. Sign on to mainframe from Windows SAS

2. Uploaded the dataset to mainframe (using proc upload)

Now I am trying to perform a rsubmit and get an output. I have tested the rsubmit with smaller dataset and it works efficiently. But it performs really slow  and fails when I try to run proc glimmx on this large dataset.

I am seeking suggestions to improve performance.

Thank you in advance.

Vira

What's the error? What does the log tell you? For example are you simply running out of memory, is it paging/swapping, ....?

If you can: Upload your data into a permanent file, then run your code from the "rsubmit" block directly on the Mainframe (using a ISPF editor). Only if you get that working run the code from remote.
