Problem Note 19710: Disk errors when importing a large Stata file into SAS or exporting large data sets to a Stata file
Using PROC IMPORT to read a large Stata .dta file (more than 1900
variables, for example) results in a "Disk Read Request Error".
proc import out=test
datafile="c:\stata files\large_dta.dta"
dbms=dta replace;
Disk Read Request Error
ERROR: Import unsuccessful. See SAS log for details.
Using PROC EXPORT to export a large data set (1200 vars, for example) to
a Stata .dta file results in a 'Disk Write Error'.
proc export data = work.largefile
outfile = 'c:\stata files\est.dta'
dbms = dta replace;
Disk Write Error
ERROR: Export unsuccessful. See SAS log for details.
Exporting a smaller data set to a Stata .dta file works correctly. This
issue has been fixed in SAS® 9.2.
