In SAS® Enterprise Guide®, you might receive an error that the data set limit has been reached


In SAS Enterprise Guide, you might receive the following error when more than 50 SAS data sets are opened:

Popup with text "There were 51 data sets created, however only the first 50 data sets were added to the project.

In SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2 and later, you can increase the data set limit in your project:

  1. Select Tools ► Options ► Results General.
  2. In the dialog box that appears, as shown below, change the number in the field for Maximum number of output data sets to add to the project.

    In Results>Results General, Maximum number of output data sets to add to the project is circled in red

    For SAS Enterprise Guide 4.1 and earlier, see SAS Note 12115, "SAS® Enterprise Guide® might display up to only fifty data nodes."
