How to Compress a SAS dataset and Extract and Open in Windows

@lmtamina  - That's the EG version, not the SAS version. Try this:

%put SAS release: &sysvlong;

EG is just a dumb front-end client. It's the SAS version that matters.

Below is the log for the SAS version.

You are using SAS 9.4 M3.which is about five years old. The latest is M7. A more recent release will likely work better for ODS. In my experience ODS uses a lot of computer resources and doesn't scale well for large datasets. This mirrors your experience of working OK for small datasets but not for large ones.

You might want to raise a track with SAS Tech Support to see if they can provide further guidance.
