When the FULLSTIMER system option is set, the SAS log shows detailed statistics, including memory usage, for each DATA or PROC step. These statistics are correct for processes run directly on a UNIX server.

When you run a process on a UNIX server using SAS^® Enterprise Guide, the memory usage statistics written to the SAS log file are not correct. Instead of reporting the memory usage for each step, the value for Memory is erroneously reported as a cumulative value.
