ERROR: Insufficient Space

[Wafflecakes]

SAS Community, 

I am trying to run a proc phreg with a model like so:

proc phreg data=cars;

class year (ref=‘0’) miles (ref=‘0’) gas (ref='0') model (ref=‘0’) cost(ref=‘0’) yearbought (ref=‘0’);

model (t1, t2) *censor(0)= year miles gas model cost yearbought /ties=efron rl;

output out=Mustang 

dfbeta=dfbvar1 dfbvar2 dfbvar3 dfbvar4 dfbvar5 dfbvar6 

ressch=scoenvar1

ressco=scorevar scorevar2 scorevar3 scorevar4 scorevar5 scorevar6

run;

ERROR: Insufficient space in file WORK.'SASTMP-000000401'n.UTILITY.

ERROR: FILE WORK.'SASTMP-000000401'n.UTILITY is damaged. I/0 processing did not complete.

Any thoughts on how to fix this problem?

You've run out of disk space in your SAS WORK library. Where are you running your program? On a PC, on a remote SAS server?

If it's on a PC check the space on your hard drive.

remove server. I have no choice but to work in the library it seems and I have tried other options like clearing it as much as possible.

There are a number of useful tips here https://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings15/3196-2015.pdf which might help

Besides the lack of disk-space, I am trying to diagnose the problem.  Could it be that there is something 'wrong' with the code itself?

Thanks for that Chris. I found the compress option interesting. I am still having the same issue except now the error shows up when I try to run the same analysis that worked successfully in the past. Does anyone know how to deal with that?
