Dear SAS Community,
I'm encountering an error while running a PROC EXPORT step in SAS Studio using Viya 4. The step attempts to export a dataset with approximately 1 million observations and 38 columns to a CSV file. I'd greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue.
Here's the specific error message I'm receiving :
Here is the code that i used:
filename exprt filesrvc folderpath="/AAI/College of Engineering/Data Requests" filename="Policy91_CE_Final_Data.csv";
proc export
data=final_data
dbms=csv
outfile=exprt
replace;
run;
Additional Information:
I've verified that the user running SAS Studio has write permissions to the target directory.
No other applications are currently using the target CSV file.
I've double-checked the file path specified in the PROC EXPORT statement for any typos.
Has anyone else encountered a similar issue when exporting large datasets with PROC EXPORT in Viya 4? Any insights or suggestions would be extremely helpful.
Thank you for your time and support!
Best Regards,
Bhaskar
Are there any file size limits in place? Total user space allocations? That one file is likely to be well over 30Mb and may be having issues with space allotment.
I see that you are exporting to your SAS Content folders and not to a native file system. Is that what you want? Where will this CSV file be needed?
If you have access to an a file storage location instead, I'd try to export to there. If you want to export this only to ultimately download it, maybe you can use a temp file location instead.
Ask your administrator if there is a 30 second timeout limit.
I suggest you try testing your EXPORT program on Viya 4 storage. If it works there reliably then you can assume the problem lies with Windows folder share and is not actually a SAS problem.
