Problem Note 11688: Unable to Read Utility File and/or Read Access Violation error(s) with
binomial or Poisson analysis
When specifying DISTRIBUTION=BINOMIAL or DISTRIBUTION=POISSON,
one or both of the following ERROR messages may be produced:
ERROR: Unable to read data from utility file
or
ERROR: Read Access Violation in task (RELIABILITY)
Any results produced by PROC RELIABILITY are correct and it is possible
with smaller datasets for PROC RELIABILITY to provide complete results
typically accompanied by only the unable to read data from utility file
error. The problem, when it occurs, disrupts the reading of a utility
file and may cause PROC RELIABILITY to produce incomplete or no results
especially with larger datasets.
A Technical Support hot fix for Release 8.2 (TS2M0) for this
issue is available at:
