Hi Folks,

Can  anyone help on below error .

Tried in multiple ways :

1) options ibufsize=32767;

2)options ibufsize=32767;
proc options option=ibufsize;run;

ERROR: Index TEMPINDX cannot be created on file WORK.'SASTMP-000000132'n because the length of the
       index value (13408 bytes) is too large. The index page size (currently 32767) must be large
       enough to store three index values plus a small overhead structure. Reduce the length of
       the index value or use the IBUFSIZE= option to increase the index page size (up to a
       maximum of 32,767 bytes).
ERROR: :Unable to create temporary index while processing summary functions.

Thank you for the explanation. In my code we didn't  create any indexes eventhough I got this error because in my grouping variables one variable length is 4000 and changed length to hundreds then iam not able to see this error .
