Hi Everyone I am running desktop SAS 9.4, EG 7.11 on a Windows 10 laptop with 12 GB memory and plugged into a USB 3.0 64 GB flashdrive (currently 30 GB free). I have used the flashdrive for some time now, but Win 10 is new along with an increase in memory from 4 to 12 GB.   I keep getting the below error for I/O error in the below data step. This flashdrive has been great in the past, so it shouldn't be an issue. Any ideas?   Also, I use the same flashdrive with the same laptop for other programs yesterday and it was fine. This error happens periodically.   Paul   data vg2q2016b (rename=entity_idall=entity_id) ; set vg.vg2q2016b; drop gdocket gdocket entity_id1 entity_id2 entity_id3 entity_id4; run;   ERROR: Windows error code: 1117 in hc_disk_normal_read for E:\files\VGExtract\vg2q2016b.sas7bdat, The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

Hi Everyone I keep getting the below error for memory size. After taking a look around, it seems using memsize and fullstimer options might be a good way to resolve the error, once it is determined the memory needed. However, I don't see how to implement these options. It appears you can set it in a data step or proc, but don't see examples.   Is anyone familiar with this?   Paul   "ERROR: Unable to allocate sufficient memory. At least 1521783K bytes were requested, but only 786430K were available. You must either increase the amount of memory available, or approach the problem differently.   ERROR: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of insufficient memory."     ... View more

Hi Everyone I am merging two data sets with the below statement and when I do a few extra records are being created in the new data set. Is there any way I can either prevent this or identify the additional records in the new data set?   In the s0ssrp data set, there are 514,983. In the new s0ssrp1, there are 515,013.   Paul   data s0ssrp1 (rename=closed_reason=FtcOutcome); merge s0ssrp (in=a) ssrpucms2 (keep=County Docket ReferralDate FtcStatus closed_reason ContractDate); if a; by County Docket; if ReferralDate ge start and ReferralDate le stop then do; FtcReferred="Y"; end; else FtcReferred="N"; run; ...

Hi I have two PCs with SAS on them. One with 32 bit and one with 64 bit. I have code that has worked fine for a long time with 32 bit. I updated a program with the 64 bit PC that was originally written with the 32 bit. In running it now on the 32 bit, it now is having a problem with the last proc export statement below. This worked fine in 32 bit prior. I also included the error, which has nothing to do with the lib ref statements. They are fine. The Access DB is 32 bit. Any ideas?
