I have had this regularly too on 9.2 TS2M3 Windows. It attacks a few specific jobs which tend to be long-running or with larger data sets. It is reproducible for those jobs. I have only MEMLIB set. I have messed about with various settings and options to no effect. MEMLIB is necessary to protect my files from Trend Micro virus scanner, which locks the files which causes SAS to fail. I just tell my users that it is a design fault in SAS. I know I could ask tech support for help but in my experience this type of error is a black hole for my time. The various suggestions in this thread are either irrelevant for Windows or do not work. I have tried them. Why can't we have an option in SAS to make it live with anti-virus software, e.g. by setting a wait or retry time before it just throws in the towel and spits out an error message? No other software I use is intolerant of anti-virus software, database included. Ah, I was forgetting Windows itself there ;-).

For that version and install, SLICE is fully functional. It's a connection problem of some sort. Steve Denham

I wish I could use BY processing. However, the EM algorithm is iterative and switches between PROC IML and many datastep. Each simulation requires a different number of iterations. I'm not using any PROCs that utilize BY processing.

Looks like defining a macro is the way to go if what you need to have in "common" include macro logic. Not sure WHY you would need to include MACRO logic for this application. If the code is just normal SAS statements without macro logic then you can use DEQUOTE() or %INCLUDE. %MACRO write_functions; %MACRO common; some shared code %MEND common; START func1 %common some unique code FINISH func1; START func2 %common some unique code FINISH func2; %MEND write_functions;

There is probably a more efficient way to code this, and you are still going to be hit with a numeric precision issue (on windows it will only take up to 14 decimal places), but I think that the following will do what you want: DATA _NULL_; SET dissert.lag1alpha1(WHERE=(var1=&num_nodes)); array nodes(*) node:; length want $500.; want=put(nodes(1),best32.); do i=2 to &num_nodes.; want=catx(" ",want,put(nodes(i),best32.)); end; CALL SYMPUTX('nodes1',want); RUN;

Good idea. Thanks.
