Problem Note 41445: Memory issues might occur when more than 19 DEFINE statements contain style options in PROC REPORT
Memory issues might occur when there are more than 19 DEFINE statements that contain style options in PROC REPORT.
The memory issues might appear either as a long processing time or as an "out of memory" error.
To circumvent the problem, try one of the following:
- Increase the value of the MEMSIZE system option.
- Reduce the total number of DEFINE statements that contain style options to less than 20.
