SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 41748: Using the LIBNAME option MULTI_DATASRC_OPT=IN_CLAUSE can result in an error
 |  |  |  |  |
When joining 2 tables from different librefs and one of table's libref is defined with the LIBNAME option MULTI_DATASRC_OPT=IN_CLAUSE, it is possible to receive an error. The error occurs when the IN list that is built by the access engine is longer than 31,000 characters. The error received varies depending on the operating system that SAS is running on.
In UNIX operating environments, the error can look similar to the following:
Segmentation Violation In Task [ SQL ] Fault Occurred at [/opt/sas/sas91ts1m3sp4/server/hotfix/sasexe/sasxdbi:sqlfre+0x4] Task Traceback /opt/sas/sas91ts1m3sp4/server/hotfix/sasexe/sasxdbi:sqlfre+0x4 /opt/sas/sas91ts1m3sp4/server/hotfix/sasexe/sasxwher:yownewf+0x21c /opt/sas/sas91ts1m3sp4/server/hotfix/sasexe/sassqx:sqxsrc+0x3d5c /opt/sas/sas91ts1m3sp4/server/hotfix/sasexe/sassqx:sqxsrc+0x9bc /opt/sas/sas91ts1m3sp4/server/hotfix/sasexe/sassqx:sqxjhsh+0x10e8 /opt/sas/sas91ts1m3sp4/server/hotfix/sasexe/sassqx:sqxsort+0xa7c /opt/sas/sas91ts1m3sp4/server/hotfix/sasexe/sassqx:sqxcrta+0xa90 /opt/sas/sas91ts1m3sp4/server/hotfix/sasexe/sassqx:sqxcrta+0x9a8 /opt/sas/sas91ts1m3sp4/server/hotfix/sasexe/sassqx:sqxcrta+0x210 /opt/sas/sas91ts1m3sp4/server/hotfix/sasexe/sassqx:sqxexec+0x554 /opt/sas/sas91ts1m3sp4/server/hotfix/sasexe/sassqx:sqlloop+0xe70 /opt/sas/sas91ts1m3sp4/server/hotfix/sasexe/sassqx:sqlloop+0x16c /opt/sas/sas91ts1m3sp4/server/hotfix/sasexe/sassql:sassql+0x2e0 /opt/sas/sas91ts1m3sp4/server/hotfix/sasexe/sas.e9bd12:vvtentr+0x120
On Windows, the error could look something like the following:
