From: Chaudhury, Jayati [IT] Subject: Proc CORR running out of memory Date: 23 Jan 05 19:03:35 GMT Hi SAS experts. I am getting an out of memory error when I try to run proc corr on a dataset with 784 observations and 6122 variables. The code is provided below. Is there a limitation on the size that Proc CORR can handle? I am using SAS 9.1 on Linux. This is urgent. So a prompt response will be greatly appreciated. Code used: ---------------- proc corr data=outlib.a outp=outlib.b noprint cov; run; Thks Jayati From: Phil Rack Subject: Re: Proc CORR running out of memory Date: 23 Jan 05 19:41:01 GMT Google "Proc Corr Concepts" or look here: http://jeff-lab.queensu.ca/stat/sas/sasman/sashtml/proc/zconcept.htm Statistically speaking, isn't the rule of thumb 10 times the number of observations to the number of variables in your study?
