An error might occur when you use SAS^® 9.3 (any release) or SAS^® 9.4 TS1M0 in a z/OS operating environment to access DB2. Information written to the SAS log might look like this: The actual error is not displayed.

If you are running interactive SAS, you might instead receive a pop-up reporting that an out-of-memory error occurred.

This issue occurs when the release of z/OS is V2R1 and the following are true:

• The tool IGVDGNPP (formerly known as PRIMEPSA) is active.
• Your SAS code requires SAS to issue a query to DB2 to either retrieve a list of DB2 tables that exist in the library or to retrieve the names and data types of the columns in a DB2 table. Here are some examples of statements that might cause this issue to occur when referencing a DB2 table:
• Most of the base procedures including CONTENTS, PRINT, FREQ, and so on
• A SET, MERGE, MODIFY statement
• Use of dictionary tables

To work around this issue, disable IGVDGNPP (PRIMEPSA).
