Roland,

Looks like it is memory dependent, as I tried to create 10 million variables
in a retain statement, running on my Solaris box with V9.3.

It ran our of memory and threw an error.

FATAL: Insufficient memory to execute data step program. Aborted during the
COMPILATION phase.
NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of insufficient
memory.
