Issue/Introduction

How do I resolve a SYSTEM COMPLETION CODE=EC6 REASON CODE=0000FD1D in a MICS job?

 

 

Environment

Release: r14

Resolution

In SAS 9 and later, when CPU time is exceeded, a system abend EC6 with reason code 0000FD1D is generated.
In previous versions of the SAS System, a system abend 322 is returned.
This is due to the way IBM treats CPU exceeded situations in USS (Unix System Services) processes.  
SAS 9 is a dubbed USS task.
Increase the CPU time for the job/step in question via the TIME= jobcard parameter or other methods. 

Refer to SAS Usage Note 12791 for more information. 

Additional Information
