After you put have put them back together again (proc append ? ), use proc datasets to set the data set option SortedBy= proc datasets library=<yours>; modify <combined>( sortedby = var1 var2 var3 ); run; quit;

Betreff: Re: SORT PROBLEM Nachrichtentext:

I've got that same problem with a file about 10 million. I'm on Win98 (With SAS 8.1) and was going to attempt to figure out why. If I do I'll let you know, meantime, anyone out here gave a suggestion would be greatly appreciated too!

Using SAS 8.1 under Windows 2000 (millenium) on a Pentium III machine with 5 gigs of free hard drive and 256 MB RAM, the following message results from an attempt to sort this temporary file that has 14,201,120 records.

If I can't sort a file this large, and I break it up by year, is there a way to convince SAS that, once I take these smaller files that have been sorted by period and cusip within each year, and put them back into a single file, that this new file is sorted by year period and cusip?

53 PROC SORT DATA=WORK.TRE ;BY YEAR PERIOD CUSIP;

ERROR: User does not have appropriate authorization level for file WORK._tf0010.UTILITY. ERROR: File WORK._tf0010.UTILITY is damaged. I/O processing did not complete. NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors. NOTE: There were 14210120 observations read from the data set WORK.TRE. NOTE: PROCEDURE SORT used: real time 18:59.43
