What does SAS file system full error mean?

7 REPLIES 7

Hi:

  What is the full text of the error message? Generally, if you enter the text into the search box at support.sas.com, you will find Tech Support notes such as this:

ERROR: Write to libref.sasdata.DATA failed. File is full and may be damaged. (http://support.sas.com/kb/31/401.html)

or

ERROR: Utility file write failed.  Probable disk full condition. (http://support.sas.com/kb/14/705.html)

Otherwise, the message seems fairly self-explanatory. You might want to open a track with Tech Support to explore the possibilities. They could look at all the code that was executing when you received the error message, gather information from you about your configuration and operating system and help you resolve the issue.

ERROR: CLI cursor extended fetch error: [IBM][CLI Driver][DB2/AIX64] SQL0968C  The file system is

       full.  SQLSTATE=57011

That is the error I get.

Hi Tmm

This is a DB2 database error.  This means

"The disk drive or the file system used by the db2 database server is full".  Please contact your DB2 Database administrator to fix this issue or coordinate with your SAS admin to contact the DB2 admin to resolve this issue. 

Before contacting them  as a precautionary measure check your query to ensure your query is returning what you've asked for.  I mean check your query to confirm you are not doing any cartesian product which results in returning huge results.

I think it is the query. I added 1 field that connects to a join and that is when this started happening. Prior the query ran in just 20 mins. Adding this 1 field is when it started. I have used our data dictionary to get the join and so I am not sure why it would not work. Did a test of using 1 day pull instead of an entire year and using 1 day with this new field gave me 695 rows but the query took real time 3 hours, cpu time like 2 mins or something. So I am not sure. Will have to open a tkt and have them see if they can tell me another join to use besides what is in there or some other way of getting the data in this field.

Hi ,

Could you please post the query before/after the error.  or at least the joining conditions used in your query?

Sure. It is a long query. The items that are not commented out have been tested by my Galaxy team who enhanced the query to make it run faster. Using the entire year from what you see in the startdt and enddt takes 20 minutes to run. When I add the cert_of_cov_fl_yr and then do any of 7 possible joins about 45mins to an hour and 15mins later it will say disk system full. So I changed my query to run just for 1 day. Using any of the 7 possible joins to the table that houses cert_of_cov_fl_yr, it runs about 3 hours on any of them and returns 695 rows. There are no other possible joins listed in our data dictionary. So I am sure since it takes 3 hours to return 695 rows that account for 1 day, trying to pull the whole year it just cannot handle because 365 days worth of data multiply by 3 hours would be a total runtime of 1080 hours. So not sure what the deal is with that one particular table. And the sad thing is I cannot take that field out because the PM needs it. I can also not just remove it for now and run the one that does run for 20minutes then do a group by the clm_aud_nbr and mbr_sys_id and do a left join to the contract plan coverage table because I am connecting via a DB2 and we cannot take data we extract onto our local machine and link it back to the server in SAS. I can do it in Access and have attempted but it is too large for Access to handle and Access will bomb.
