 |  |  |  |
If you are running any release of SAS 9.3, you might see the following error in the SAS log after submitting PROC INFOMAPS code in SAS Enterprise Guide.
ERROR: An exception has been encountered. Please contact technical support and provide them with the following traceback information: The SAS task name is [INFOMAPS (2)] ERROR: Write Access Violation INFOMAPS (2) Exception occurred at (00000000) Task Traceback Address Frame (DBGHELP API Version 4.0 rev 5) 00000000074B86A6 00000000075EF7C8 sasinfom:tkvercn1+0x7666 000000000308C78C 00000000075EF818 sasxkern:tkvercn1+0x7B74C 0000000001F1BC44 00000000075EF908 sashost:Main+0x2584 0000000001F1B713 00000000075EFB10 sashost:Main+0x2053 00000000030338F6 00000000075EFB40 sasxkern:tkvercn1+0x228B6 00000000074B1253 00000000075EFCB0 sasinfom:tkvercn1+0x213 0000000001F28FD7 00000000075EFF20 sashost:Main+0xF917 0000000001F2D5FD 00000000075EFF50 sashost:Main+0x13F3D 000000007787652D 00000000075EFF58 kernel32:BaseThreadInitThunk+0xD 0000000077AAC521 00000000075EFF88 ntdll:RtlUserThreadStart+0x21
In addition, after the error appears, SAS Enterprise Guide stops responding if you resubmit the code.
As a workaround, you can do one of the following:
- Instead of using METACREDENTIALS=NO, edit the code to use the METAUSER and METAPASS options.
- Remove the METAREPOSITORY=FOUNDATION option from the code. (This workaround resolves the issue only if the repository is Foundation.)
