Hi,

This is chandra kotta,member of sas forums.I have been in trouble in not solving the memory issue for the procedure varclus.
I have got a dataset with 5246 variables and 23000 observations.I am running a query as below

proc varclus data= inputs_std noprint outstat=clust_stat;
var var_1--var_5246;
run;

When i run this query,i am getting an error like no sufficient memory.But i can tell you one thing that this memory issue is not related to system or server.I am working on sas EG when the above code is concerned.

proc varclus data= inputs_std noprint outstat=clust_stat;
var var_1--var_2000;
run;

I tried the above query with 2000 inputs,it is working for me.

Could you please help me out in this issue.Even if there is any other alternate procedure also,thats fine for me. I even tried with options like maxclusters=200, centroid,short etc..Nothing is working for me.

Any ideas are invited.

Thanks..
