Problem Note 65351: A Read Access Violation occurs with the MEMLIB system option and the MEMCACHE system option set to 4
SAS® crashes and generates a Read Access Violation when the MEMCACHE system option is set to 4 and the MEMLIB system option is on. For example, this error appears in the SAS log for the DELETE procedure:
The SAS task name is [DELETE]
ERROR: Read Access Violation DELETE
The following code example can demonstrate the problem:
/* code that runs successfully */
proc copy in=sashelp out=work;
select class;
run;
proc delete data=class;
run;
/* code that causes the Read Access Violation */
options memcache=4;
proc copy in=sashelp out=work;
select class;
run;
proc delete data=class;
run;
