Subject:   out of memory on SAS drives during SORT

I'm running SAS 6.11 on a PC. I have a lot of programs on my C: drive but have a relatively empty 2 Gb D: drive.

I have accessed a 400Mb data file remotely from an Oracle data base (taking 2.5 hrs) and placed that on my D: drive.

When I run SORT, it tries to use my C: drive for processing and dies from lack of space.

I have tried : " SUBMIT (SIODISK=D:\ ) in the command line, but it still tries to process on the C: drive.

any suggestions would be helpful.

thanks in advance.
