When you receive the following ERROR in your SAS log, you should check to see whether you are coding the SAS system option UTILLOC:

If you are using the default, which is UTILLOC=WORK, you need to either increase your WORK space allocation or change the SAS system option UTILLOC to reference a different location. See the example syntax of this change below:

In the code above, location can be one of the following:

• An HFS directory in the UNIX System Services file system
• An ALLOC command that specifies the amount of space to be used for each utility file

In SAS 9.1 and later releases, you can include any of the following keywords in your ALLOC command:

• TRACKS
• CYL
• BLOCK
• SPACE
• UCOUNT
• VOL
• UNIT
• STORCLAS
• MGMTCLAS
• DATACLAS

Here is an example:

Note: In the example above, you must use a valid UNIT parameter for your site as well as the necessary space and volume counts.

For additional information, refer to the following SAS Notes:

• SAS Note 11174, "Specifying SAS System option UTILLOC=WORK in SAS 9"
• SAS Note 18626, "Syntax on how to allocate SAS system option UTILLOC at SAS invocation"
