I did check the disk space and actually the disk is full. So hat, well, it's an industrial plan vax and noone can touch the disk, if it's almost full, qwell, so be it. Then the question is : is there a way to submit a sas job under vms from the system startup (located on the system disk) but redirecting ALL working areas on another disk ? I tried all trivial solutions available under the system options of SAS, but it seems that SAS will always use some disk space on the system disk nevertheless. Is there a safe way to run SAS on a vax with the system disk full ? Thank you in advance. Stefano Gazziano SAS consultant in Rome Italy.
