Thanks a lot @Tom @Ksharp @Kurt_Bremser for all your time and explanaiton.

I'm encountering an issue with proc document,

i'm trying to print table of contents one of my page name is 300 characters.

i'm doing this way:

i have issue with the output of proc document,'

i have 300 characters that need to be printed in proc document but it is showing only 244 characters.

input:

proc document name=work.tables;
setlabel \EXXXXXX "EXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
setlabel \EXXXXXX "EXXXXXX- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
run;

Output:

EXXXXXX "EXXXXXXX

EXXXXXX EXXXXXX- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

the first one not printing fully, only 244 characters are printing, how to increase the length to print more.

is that true that it has having 256 characters limit for printing, if it is then how to overcome it ?

your suggestions are greatly helpful for me.

The label for the SETLABEL statement is limited to 256 characters. There is not a way to increase this limit.
