However, the code you provided output want data with 0 observations. *Clear the contents of hash freeing memory space after processing each id*/ĭrop sort nodupkey by ID CODES AND DATE halved the data size. *Reading your small and look uo the large*/ *Reading your large by id i.e only one id at a time and load *The following requires a sorted approach hence the proc sort by id*/ Proc sort data=sashelp.class out=small(keep=sex) nodupkey *Creating small with unique Id's as you mentioned 1:N*/ The following assumed both datasets have the same ID's. I was about to recommend the below(that clears memory) with confidence but now recommending without confidence If 0 then set z.data_large(keep=id var1 var2) ĭcl h1 (dataset:'z.data_large(keep=id var1 var2 where=(var1 ne.

You will need to talk to your SAS admin if you require more memory than allowed to you for a SAS session. You can get information about memory available via Proc Options group=memory run You can estimate the memory requirement by summing up the lengths of the 3 variables loaded into the hash multiplied by the number of rows in your table (with none missing var1). ) helps to keep the total rows below this 22M+ limit - something I should have added to the code from start. May be also excluding all rows where=(var1 ne. That's nothing we can fix unless you get more memory for your session. A SAS Hash table resides in memory and it appears that the load into memory failed after 22M rows.
