Problem Note 18068: Processing of watchlist scenarios requires more than 2 GB of memory which will cause errors on 32 bit operating systems
 |  |  |  |  |
SAS® Anti-Money Laundering watchlist scenarios will fail when running on 32 bit operating systems because of memory limitations. The failure occurs because the hash tables used to hold the Worldcheck watchlist records attempt to grow beyond 2 GB in size.
The hotfix provided contains a fix as described below.
A new macro parameter is checked by the scenarios and can force a different method of processing which uses much less memory. This parameter should be set in the autoexec file.
%let WATCH_LIST_PROCESSING_METHOD = HASH_ARRAY;
For UNIX based systems it should be set to HASH_ARRAY, for Windows based systems it should be set to INDEX_ARRAY.
