Hi, I'm a first time user of SAS, but I am an experienced programmer in other languages. I am using SAS it to access a very large database with measurement readings, but getting very poor results in terms of how fast the system is responding and also navigating the UI. I tried to collect all of the historical values for a subsection for the past year, but the application crashed. Now when I try to re-run the application by narrowing it down to the month, the application never completes. It's staying in 'Running...' status but does not seem to be doing anything. I had a few questions I'd like to ask about SAS EG: 1. Is there any type of console or terminal log I can pull up within SAS EG to see what the program is actually doing in real time to ensure it isn't stuck? 2. The query I initially ran froze the PC, actually used up over 150 GB of storage on my HD completely filling it up and crashing. I deleted the 'results' file to free up that space. Is there any resource someone can point me to that I can use to learn how to pipe out the query output in SAS into smaller files with a maximum of X records in each file?
