Problem Note 51300: PROC QLIM might return an insufficient memory error with BY-group processing

DetailsAboutRate It

The QLIM procedure might produce the following error if BY-group processing is performed over a large number of BY groups:

ERROR: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of insufficient memory.

The insufficient memory condition is caused by a memory leak in some of the underlying subroutines used by the procedure. To circumvent the problem, subset the data into smaller data sets and run the analysis in multiple steps.
