SAS Notes V6-SYS.PROC-5167
Incomplete data set may be generated if memory is scarce


In some cases where memory is severely constrained, the MEANS and SUMMARY procedures may not write all observations to the output data set. No notes, warnings, or errors are issued in this case to bring attention to the problem, although a return code of 8 does result. To avoid the problem, be sure the MEMSIZE= system option is set sufficiently high (12 to 14 Meg is recommended).
