title: Increasing sas memory/memsize
body: <p>Hi have a dataset wih about 6000 obs and 250 variables. I am trying to run a mixed model in sas using proc mixed but I keep getting "Error:the sas system stopped processing this step because of insufficient memory" . I tried the cornell university's way- <a href="http://www.ciser.cornell.edu/FAQ/SAS/MemoryAllocation.shtm" rel="nofollow">http://www.ciser.cornell.edu/FAQ/SAS/MemoryAllocation.shtm</a> , but its not working as under "properties", its not letting me modify "target".</p>
  
  <p>I tried,
  Proc options option=memsize 4G;
  Run;</p>
  
  <p>but obviously there is something wrong with the code and I keep getting error. I want to increase the memory assigned by sas which right now is 2gb.
  I am using the sas provided by my school, so I am guessing its a student version. Don't know if that has anything to do with this memory error.</p>
  
  <p>Would really appreciate if someone could help me with changing the memsize to max or something bigger than 2gb.
  Thanks in advance</p>
