Error Messages |
SAS data sets are limited in size to 4,294,967,294 (or 4 gigabyte) blocks. When this value is exceeded, you receive these errors.
SAS encountered an error while trying to create the mailbox used by the X 'DCL-command' form of the X statement or command. This message might be preceded by an OpenVMS message indicating the exact nature of the problem. Check your process privileges and quotas.
SAS encountered an error while trying to spawn a subprocess from the X command or statement. This message might be preceded by an OpenVMS message indicating the exact nature of the problem. Check your process quotas and privileges.
You cannot invoke SAS interactively in a SPAWN/NOWAIT subprocess. For additional details, see Running SAS in a SPAWN/NOWAIT Subprocess.
SAS was unable to load the named image, but processing continues if possible. Ensure that you have spelled all procedures, functions, and formats correctly. If you are unable to determine the cause of this error, contact your SAS Installation Representative.
An error occurred when SAS was opening the LOADLIST file. Check the filename for valid OpenVMS filename specifications. For more information about specifying OpenVMS filenames, see OpenVMS Filenames.
An error occurred when SAS was writing to the LOADLIST file. Ensure that you have WRITE access to the LOADLIST file.
This data set contains observations with numeric variables of length 2. The data set cannot be created or translated. For information about converting 2-byte variables to 3-byte variables, see VAXTOINTEG Procedure: OpenVMS.
You cannot invoke SAS interactively in a SPAWN/NOWAIT subprocess. For additional details, see Running SAS in a SPAWN/NOWAIT Subprocess.
A conversion error, such as overflow, underflow, or value is not an integer, has occurred. Check the defined key data type on the indexed file and modify the KEYVALUE= value accordingly.
If you are writing records to a file that uses fixed-length records, you must use the LRECL= external I/O statement host-option or the LRECL= system option to specify the record length.
SAS encountered a fatal internal error. Report this error to your on-site SAS support personnel.
The OpenVMS system enables you to write to only one member of a text library at a time. Modify your SAS job accordingly.
The specified KEYVALUE= value has a data type that conflicts with the defined key data type on the indexed file. Check the defined key data type on the indexed file and modify the KEYVALUE= value accordingly.
SAS does not support the following key data types: unsigned 8-byte binary, signed 8-byte integer, collating key, and packed decimal string.
A host system option that can be used only in the SAS command or configuration file was specified in the OPTIONS statement.
SAS encountered a fatal internal error. Report this error to your on-site SAS support personnel.
You have specified both a FILE and an INFILE statement that access the same indexed file. UPDATE access is currently not supported. Correct your program and resubmit it.
You have tried to update a member of an OpenVMS text library (perhaps with a FILE statement), or used the FSLIST procedure with an OpenVMS text library. This access is currently not supported. Correct your program and resubmit it.
While wildcards and concatenated file specifications are allowed for input, they are not allowed for output. Correct your program and resubmit it.
Certain SAS commands are supported only under the OpenVMS operating environment. Their use is constrained. Only one of these commands can be assigned to a single function key. The commands cannot be mixed with each other or with other windowing commands. These commands cannot be used in DM statements or typed manually on the command line. These commands are
CHINSERT | DELWORD |
CURSORDOWN | MOVEBOL |
CURSORLEFT | MOVEEOL |
CURSORRIGHT | NEWLINE |
CURSORUP | NEXTFIELD |
DELCHAR | NEXTWORD |
DELLINE | PREVFIELD |
DELPCHAR | PREVWORD |
DELTOEOL |
With the CR (carriage return) file format, there is no overprint character. Therefore, set the OVP system option to NOOVP to suppress overprinting.
CC=PRINT corresponds to the variable with fixed control (VFC) file format. Therefore, a fixed record format is incompatible. CC=CR (carriage return) is compatible with a fixed record format.
The OpenVMS logical name has been superseded by a new value.
During an update to an external file, the length of the new record exceeded the length of the existing record. The new record was truncated to the length of the existing record.
This message is printed if you are writing records that are larger than those specified by the LRECL= external I/O statement option. You might want to modify the LRECL= value accordingly.
You have specified the PRINTER or PLOTTER device type keyword in a FILENAME statement with an OpenVMS text library. OpenVMS does not allow spooling of text library members.
This message is followed by an OpenVMS message describing the error. Correct the problem and perform the operation again.
While loading the named image, SAS encountered invalid data in the image and could not proceed. Ask your SAS Installation Representative to check the installation of the product. Ensure that your site is licensed for the product that you are trying to use.
SAS was unable to load the named image because it could not find the image. Ask your SAS Installation Representative to check the installation of the product. Ensure that your site is licensed for the product that you are trying to use.
SAS was unable to print the fatal condition that it encountered. Report this error to your on-site SAS support personnel.
The named image contains invalid internal data. Report this error to your SAS Installation Representative.
If SAS encounters an error while assigning a logical name when parsing options, this message is printed, along with the name of the file that SAS was trying to assign. Correct the problem and perform the operation again.
SAS encountered an error while trying to connect to the terminal. An OpenVMS message follows this message and indicates the exact nature of the problem. Correct the problem and perform the operation again.
SAS encountered an error while creating a handler for the CTRL-C attention sequence. The OpenVMS return code is printed along with this message. Correct the problem and perform the operation again.
SAS could not find the autoexec file specified. Check the file specification in any AUTOEXEC= options that you have used. Also, check the file that is indicated by the SAS$INIT logical name. Make sure that you have access to the file.
SAS encountered a system option that was not valid in the configuration file. Check all options in the SAS command and in your configuration file for accuracy.
A host system option with an integer value was assigned a value outside the valid range.
An error occurred when SAS was translating the named logical name. This message is followed by an OpenVMS return code that indicates the exact nature of the problem. Correct the problem and perform the operation again.
This message is printed for all fatal errors encountered during a SAS session. Check for old or duplicate versions of the named image in your default directory and in the path that is defined by SAS$LIBRARY search list logical. Report this error to your SAS Installation Representative.
An error occurred when SAS was closing the configuration file file-specification. Report this error to your on-site SAS support personnel.
SAS encountered an error while trying to open a configuration file. File-level indicates whether the configuration file was at the process, group, system, or cluster level. file-specification is the full pathname for the file. Ensure that you spelled any configuration filenames correctly. Also, check with your system manager to ensure that you have privileges for the group- and system-level configuration files. Finally, check that the file that is pointed to by the OpenVMS logical name SAS$CONFIG exists.
An error occurred when SAS was deleting a file in the WORK subdirectory. For more information, see The CLEANUP Tool.

You specified an invalid value for the host-option option. For the valid values for the option, see System Options under OpenVMS. Specify a valid value and perform the operation again.
The directory path that was specified for the data library has invalid OpenVMS directory syntax. Correct the problem and perform the operation again.
SAS was unable to load the named image. This message is followed by an OpenVMS return code that indicates the exact nature of the problem. Correct the problem and perform the operation again.
