How do I resolve a SYSTEM COMPLETION CODE=EC6 REASON CODE=0000FD1D in a MICS job?
Release: r14
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.
This can also be accompanied by a BPXP013I message.
For ex.
BPXP013I THREAD ###########, IN PROCESS ########, WAS
TERMINATED BY SIGNAL SIGXCPU, DUE TO CPU TIME OUT.
