Operating Environment Information: The SAS Companion for your operating system details how to specify
system options.
The SPD Engine creates
temporary utility files during certain processing, such as automatic
sorting and creating indexes. To successfully complete the process,
you must have enough space to store the utility files. The SPDEUTILLOC=
system option enables you to specify an adequate amount of space for
processing. However, for OpenVMS on HP Integrity Servers, the libraries
must be ODS-5 files. When multiple directories are specified in the
SPDEUTILLOC= system option, the directory for the first utility file
is randomly selected when processing starts. The selection continues
in a cyclical fashion to the other directories. Utility files are
temporary and are removed after processing is completed.
Note: To avoid syntax errors, specify
multiple directories in the configuration file.
SAS recommends that
you always specify the SPDEUTILLOC= option or the UTILLOC= option
to ensure that you have enough space for processes that create utility
files. If the SPDEUTILLOC= system option or the UTILLOC= SAS system
option is not specified, and the SPD Engine cannot locate the SAS
WORK directory (or does not have Write permission to it), the location
for temporary utility file storage is defined by each operating environment.
The following table shows the default utility file locations:
Default Utility File Locations

|
|
|

UTILLOC= SAS system
option, if specified

|

UTILLOC= SAS system

the TEMP= environment variable

UTILLOC= SAS system
option, if specified
|
|
|
OpenVMS on HP Integrity
Servers
|
UTILLOC= SAS system
option, if specified
|
WORK= SAS system option,
if specified, and ODS-5 directory (If the WORK= SAS system option
does not specify an ODS-5 directory, and if the SAS session was started
with the ODS-5 file specification of SASROOT, the utility files will
be created in the SASROOT directory. Otherwise, there will be no default
location, and the LIBNAME assignment will fail.)
