SPD Engine System Options |
Specifies the memory space size that the sorting utility can use
when sorting values for creating an index.
Valid in: |
configuration file, SAS invocation, OPTIONS
statement, Systems Options window

Affected by data set option: |
MEMSIZE=

Default: |
32M

SPDEINDEXSORTSIZE=n | nK
| nM | nG

- n

is the size of memory space in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes,
or gigabytes. If n=0, the sort utility uses its
default. The valid value range is from 1,048,576 to 10,736,369,664 bytes.
The SPDEINDEXSORTSIZE= option specifies the maximum amount
of memory that can be used when sorting values for creating an index. When
indexes are created in parallel (because ASYNCINDEX=YES), the value you specify
in SPDEINDEXSORTSIZE= is divided among all of the concurrent index creation
threads.
Perform one of the following if the index creation fails due to insufficient
memory:
You increase the memory space that is used for index sorting
using the SPDEINDEXSORTSIZE= system option. If you specify to
create indexes in parallel, specify a large-enough space using the SPDEUTILLOC=
system option.
