proc npar1way does not stop running

[Toni2]

hi, not sure what is the issue here but for some reason the proc npar1way does not stop running even with low number of obs. Any idea?

below is a part of the final dataset: 

675 smp
515 smp
548 smp
599 smp
500 smp
715 smp
500 smp
0 pop
100 pop
666 pop
100 pop
752 pop
648 pop
500 pop
500 pop
100 pop

data final;
set smp (obs=100) pop (obs=100);
run;

ods graphics on;
proc npar1way edf data=final;
class source;
var application_score;
exact ks;
run;
ods graphics off;

What happens if you take the EXACT command out and run it?

thanks, i removed the EXACT and works!

As you have observed, the EXACT statement can cause long run times in PROC NPAR1WAY.   Adding the MC option to the EXACT statement requests a Monte Carlo estimate of the exact p-value.  This calculation can be a good compromise when the exact computations are too computationally intensive to wait for. With the MC option, the exact tests will not be computed.

thanks 🙂
