Hi Andrea,

You likely need to contact or search the tech support site to see, but I
think you were either disconnected (timed out from your server) or have the
persistent bug where "AdAware" type software erroneously thinks a component
of SAS Integration Technologies (client software) is part of "Comet Cursor"
spyware.

The easiest way to check if you timed out is to open EG again and see if you
can run SAS code or EG tasks on this server.  If so, then you likely just
timed out.  Otherwise, if you can't connect to the server you likely had
your ant-spyware software delete a needed part of SAS IT client software.

See http://support.sas.com/kb/13/349.html

Regards,
Stephen

Subject: Principal Components Analysis using SAS Enterprise Guide v 4

Hello,
I'm manipulating a dataset of 141 variables across 16 years in a Principal
Components Analysis, using SAS Enterprise Guide v 4.  I restricted the
number of Principal Components to 20.  The job aborted and I got the error
message below.  Can anyone help me figure out what went wrong, and how I may
rectify the matter?
