So, in example, a CSV-file might end up as "/SASEnvironment/etc/etc/etc/filename.cs" and be considered a C# file. I believe this is due to a Windows limitation. Is there any way around this other than shortening folder and file names?</P><P></P><P>Thanks.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 30 Apr 2013 09:15:38 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Management/Problem-writing-to-path-over-200-characters-is-there-a-way/m-p/124957#M1594 TurnTheBacon 2013-04-30T09:15:38Z Re: Problem writing to path over 200 characters, is there a way around this? https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Management/Problem-writing-to-path-over-200-characters-is-there-a-way/m-p/124958#M1595 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>You could declare a macro or environment variable that holds the major part of the path.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 30 Apr 2013 11:30:47 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Management/Problem-writing-to-path-over-200-characters-is-there-a-way/m-p/124958#M1595 LinusH 2013-04-30T11:30:47Z
