If you get the following error in SAS 9.1.3 and above, you might need to increase your space allocation for UTILLOC or you might need to increase your REGION parameter. If you specified UTILLOC=WORK, you need to increase your work space allocation. If you specified the location of temporary utility files with the UTILLOC option, you need to increase the space in your UTILLOC allocation. You only need to code REGION on your job card.
ERROR: Utility file open failed
In SAS 9.1 and later, you can include any of the following keywords in your ALLOC command: TRACKS, CYL, BLOCK, SPACE, UCOUNT, VOL, UNIT, STORCLAS, MGMTCLAS, and DATACLAS.
