SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 44902: SPDE (Scalable Performance Date Engine ) LIBNAME statement can generate an HSSTER error or cause SAS to terminate
 |  |  |  |  |
This problem was originally reported by a customer running PC SAS. The root path used for the metadata was not particularly long. The DATAPATH and INDEXPATH arguments were not long for a PC but caused a LIBNAME statement error with a code HSSTER. In that example there were 8 locations in both the DATAPATH and INDEXPATH.
Shortening the path and adding more of them for a total of 20 locations in both DATAPATH and INDEXPATH, caused SAS to issue a critical error, trace back, and terminate.
