I have these statements from the log. What do they mean?

[GN0001]

Hello team,

Can you please tell me what these mean or what they check or do?

Deleting work.profile(memtype.catalog).

File work.profile (memtype=catalog) can't be deleted because it is in use.

Deleting work.Registry (memtype.Itemstor)

File work.Resgistry (memtype=itemstor) can't be deleted because it is in use.

deleting work.sasmacr (memtype=catalog) can't be deleted because it is in use.

run;

Thanks,

Blueberry

Can you describe what you were doing or code submitted that generated these results?

The messages are pretty clear that some process attempted to delete some catalogs or itemstor that were in use. "In use" could be the file descriptions were open such as in the SAS explorer window or similar. Multiple SAS sessions open attempting to modify some settings might cause similar.

The specific catalog names are usually involved in session controls or preferences. the Profile catalog would have settings like window colors, locations, possibly custom settings for menus and such. The SASMacr catalog contains compiled macros for execution.

If things appear in the LOG you should copy the text from the log, open a text box on the forum and then paste the text if all possible. The next to last error doesn't make sense because of spelling:

Deleting work.Registry (memtype.Itemstor)

File work.Resgistry (memtype=itemstor) can't be deleted because it is in use.

I suspect you ran code similar to this to get the SAS log notes in your post:

proc datasets library = WORK kill nolist;
run;
quit;

The reason you get those notes is because your SAS session has those SAS files open for the entirety of the session as they are using to store session settings. You can't delete them, but they will be deleted when you close your SAS session as your complete SAS WORK library is removed at that point.
