Subject:      MERGING too much??

Help SAS-L!!
 
I am trying to merge 48 data sets. Each has 395 variables and from 3 to 15
observations. There is one common variable: PROGRAM, and that is my BY
variable. Here is the error message:
 
 
        FATAL: Code generation error detected during MISSING smear
generation.
        ERROR: Out of memory.
 
 
Here is the code:
 
DATA SAVE.SUMMDATA ;
        MERGE SE1951 SE2951 SE3951 .... SE6981 SE7981 ;
        BY PROGRAM;
 
I am running in batch under MVS, SAS 6.09 TS450. Has anyone ever seen this,
and do you know how to get around it??
 
Thanks-In-Advance!!
