Problem Note 40136: PROC TABULATE might give incorrect frequency statistics when only the N statistic is requested and memory is constrained
The TABULATE procedure might report incorrect frequency statistics when only the N statistic is requested and memory is contrained due to system limitations. The memory contrains cause PROC TABULATE to overflow, engaging on-disk algorithms that produce the following note in the SAS Log:
NOTE: Processing on disk occurred during summarization.
