如何纠正我观察到的错误信息？

Question

运行宏％better_means后，我收到一条错误消息，但我不确定我需要更改哪些选项才能正确计算摘要统计信息。

WARNING: A shortage of memory has caused the quantile computations to terminate prematurely for QMETHOD=OS. Consider using 
             QMETHOD=P2.
    NOTE: The affected statistics will be missing from the corresponding classification levels.

这是因为分位数（和百分位数）计算需要大量内存来运行，并使用默认的计算方法（基本上，排列所有内容然后找到5％标记等）如果你有很多对于数据，或者你有很多变量或类变量，你可能会碰到这个。考虑将运行分成多个步骤（可能在一个proc中执行某些类变量，在另一个中执行某些类变量），或者增加SAS可用的内存量。
