When you apply maintenance to an existing installation of SAS 9.3 TS1M2 or later with any non-W0 encodings, the data set high-level-qualifier.ENxx.SASMSG returns an out-of-space error.

To work around this problem, delete the existing high-level-qualifier.ENxx.SASMSG data set at the appropriate time, depending on which installation action you are using:

• Action B: Before you invoke the SAS^® Deployment Wizard or before you submit the jobs, if you are using the -NOJOBSUBMIT option
• Action C: Before you submit the PROMOTE job

If your maintenance job failed due to insufficient space in this data set, do the following:

1. Delete the high-level-qualifier.ENxx.SASMSG data set.
2. Allocate a larger high-level-qualifier.ENxx.SASMSG data set using the sample Job Control Language (JCL) shown below.
3. Resubmit the job that failed and ensure that all subsequent jobs run.

   If you invoked the SAS Deployment Wizard with the -NOJOBSUBMIT option, each job automatically submits the subsequent job. If you invoked the SAS Deployment Wizard without the -NOJOBSUBMIT option, you must manually submit each remaining job, starting with the job that originally failed. The list of jobs to execute can be found in the JOBINDEX member of your high-level-qualifier.INSTALL.CNTL data set.
