"PROC ARIMA can handle time series of moderate size; there should be at
least 30 observations. With 30 or fewer observations, the parameter
estimates may be poor. With thousands of observations, the method
requires considerable computer time and memory. "

SAS generally has the ability to handel whatever you give it interms of
Database size, its just a matter of how long you can let it run and the
box its running on.
