Hi All,

I'm running the proc freq below and keep getting the error message
=91ERROR: The requested table is too large to process.=92  I ran the exact
same syntax but using a different variable and had not problems.  Any
suggestion will be helpful. Thanks a lot.

Note: i have 9,609 matched sets and 38436 observations in total.

proc freq data=3Dtest;
tables groups*treatment*cost / cmh2 scores=3Dmodridit noprint;
Title 'Stratified signed rank test- Cost';
run;

How many levels of groups, treatment and cost are there?

Should cost really be a classification variable here? Seems like cost
ought to be treated as a continuous variable.

It looks like you are trying to create a frequency table with at least one 
field that is non-integer.  Yes, SAS could run out of memory especially if 
you are creating table in several dimension.  Try using PROC FORMAT to 
create a finite number of brackets then try again.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions.  How do you use PROC FORMAT to
create a finite number of brackets?
