Hi,
I am using SAS 9.3 in a W7 64bits with 12gb RAM.
I am trying to run a proc surveyreg with cluster and fixed effects by firm. I have 1.229 firms in my dataset. And I get the error:
The SAS System stopped processing this step because of insufficient memory.
My code is:
71 proc surveyreg data=temp.regressiondata;
72 cluster dscode;
73 model VARDEP = VARDINDEPS /covb;
74 ods output datasummary=sum_cluster1;
75 ods output covb=cov_cluster1;
76 ods output FitStatistics=fit_cluster1;
77 run;
Note that VARDEP and VARINDEPS in the code are replaced by the actual name of the variables. VARINDEPS includes the firm dummies.
I have set MEMSIZE=MAX in the config and when I run the code I have options fullstimer on and I get the following message:
ERROR: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of insufficient memory.
NOTE: PROCEDURE SURVEYREG used (Total process time):

79 quit;
when I run PROC OPTIONS GROUP= MEMORY; run;
I get:
