Problem Note 8830: LVARLEVEL and SORTLIST functions may not clear memory correctly
The SAS Component Language (SCL) functions LVARLEVEL and SORTLIST with
the NODUP option specified, as well as the _copyListOut method in the
SCL List Class in SAS/AF Software, may not clear memory correctly. In
extreme situations in which the function or method is called repeatedly,
this may result in a program halt when executing a SAS/AF application.
In the SAS Log, you may see one or more of the following error messages:
ERROR: Insufficient memory
Bus error in task [AF ]
Task traceback
No traceback available
No memory available
ERROR: Generic critical error.
