V6-SYS.SYS-7110 Out of Memory message when running SAS 6.07 under UNIX

Some users may experience an "Out of Memory" message when running large SAS jobs or Statistical procedures. This is caused by the SAS memsize option being set too low for the SAS procedure. To increase the memsize option in SAS 6.07, you must specify a larger memsize value in the config.sas or SAS command line. For example:

         sas -memsize 64M mypgm.sas    /* on invocation of SAS */
             -memsize 64M              /* in the config.sas file */

If you set the memsize to 0, SAS will take the memsize and round the value to 4meg, the actual size necessary to start SAS. In SAS 6.09, the value of 0 for memsize will allow SAS to get as much memory as the system will allow. To get this same affect in SAS 6.07, you may comment out the -memsize line in the config.sas file. For example,

         /*-memsize 16m */

would eliminate the memory ceiling for SAS.
