When doing a Left join, I received the following message,
ERROR: Sort execution failure.
I've never seen this happen before. Has anyone else come across this error ?
thanks

Share the SAS log with the expanded code for a meaningful response.

I don't have the log available right now, but I can give some background. We are in the process of upgrading from 9.1 to 9.2 , and are testing some existing code. Since the code hasn't changed, I'm inclined to think that it has something to do with 9.2 . I'll post the log after I've recreated it.

thanks, Tom

Hi Tom,

Have you tried increasing sortsize option? How large is your dataset?
