Access violation or system hang using SASTRACE option on 64-bit Windows


Using the SASTRACE option on 64-bit windows and executing a DATA step or PROC 
may cause the SAS session to hang or return an access violation.

The following code will cause this problem: options SASTRACE=',,,d' sastraceloc=saslog; proc print data=x.mytable; run;
As a workaround, use the additional option, nostsuffix. This will resolve the above issue
as well as produce a SAS log that is easier to read.


For example: options SASTRACE=',,,d' sastraceloc=saslog nostsuffix;
