Problem Note 33785: A disk-seeking error occurs when you use the EXPORT procedure to export JMP® files larger than 2 gigabytes
 |  |  |  |  |
A disk-seeking error occurs when you use PROC EXPORT to export JMP files that are larger than 2 gigabytes, as shown in this example:
proc export outfile="c:\temp\out_big.jmp"
data=x.big
dbms=jmp replace;
run;
An error similar to the following is generated:
Disk Seeking Error NOTE: "c:\temp\out_big.jmp" file was successfully created.
This problem occurs even if a note appears saying that the JMP data file was successfully created.
To circumvent the problem, export the file as a tab-delimited text file, using a value of TAB for the DBMS= option. Then import the tab-delimited text file into your JMP software.
