Problem Note 37207: A Details Table analysis fails with the error messaage "Analysis output catalog does not exist"
 |  |  |  |  |
The Details Table analysis has functionality that enables you to find comments that contain similar text. If the comments in the analysis are short or most of them contain similar terms, the TMULT procedure fails because the input matrix is too small to run singular-value decomposition.
When this error occurs, the Messages tab in the Details Table analysis contains the error message "Analysis output catalog does not exist." You can view the log file for the analysis from the Diagnostic Client, and it contains an error message similar to the following:
ERROR: K can not be greater than 4 less than the minimum of the number of rows and columns in the original uncompressed matrix. NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
As a workaround, you can change the following row in the parmsl.analysismacvars file to specify FALSE instead of TRUE:
Making this change enables the Details Table analysis to run, but the option to find similar text will no longer be available on the Details Table.
Select the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.
