Usually that's a connection issue. Restart SAS and see if it goes away.
Astounding
PROC Star

You have used the same name for both output data sets.  Can't do that .... just change out of the names on out=.

We used different names for datasets. It's a mistake when posting in the community.

PROC Star

Does it work for a subset of your data?

 

proc freq data=case (obs = 100) noprint;
table num*other*crecpt / out=recpt;
table num*other*srecpt / out=recpt;
run;

For less levels in your data (remove one or two variables).

Perhaps you should then post the actual code submitted.

I got a similar error and traced it back to a text by variable.  I got around it by removing the variable (it was redundant with different numeric variable in my case).  My guess is that it was a buffer overrun caused by the length of the text.  Do any of your variables contain a long string?
