Problem Note 63060: Performance is slow when you use very wide data sets in SAS® Risk Dimensions
 |  |  |  |  |
When you use very wide data sets in SAS Risk Dimensions, you might encounter long processing times and slow performance. A very wide data set might have 500,000 columns (variables) or more.
There are no errors or warnings.
This issue occurs because, when you select variables for a data set, a linear name search is performed. For very wide data sets, this search can be time-consuming.
