How to print long length observation in the Proc report character length bigger than 200

SASuserlot — Thu, 04 Nov 2021 21:07:26 GMT

I am trying to print the observation that is character length bigger than 200. I tried the following but it won't print because its cutoff in dataset itself. I want to achieve it using compute block but its not aligning with other columns. For example in the example, name got cutoff when I use it as observation , if I use in compute block its not aligning with sex and age. How can I achieve having full name and align with other columns. I am aware of I can spit the length using escape character to avoid getting into other column. Any help really appreciated. Thanks.

data class ;
length name $200;
set sashelp.class;
x=_n_;
if x=1;
if name= 'Alfred' then name=" this is very long variable length bigger than the 200 character how to print this in the proc report , I am having difficulty to achieve it, Can you please help. I really appreciate your help may be I missing something here  or forgot how to achieve it";
run;


title ' ';
footnote '';
options orientation = landscape errors = 2 missing = ' ' nofmterr ls = 175 validvarname = upcase nofmterr nobyline;

ods escapechar = '^';
ods results on; 
ods listing close; 
ods rtf file = "&tmplocation.\xx.rtf" style = table_rtf; 

proc report data = class ls = 145 ps = 55  split = "?" headline center missing formchar(2) = '_';
	** titles **;

	column  ("^R/RTF'\brdrb\brdrs '" name  sex age);
	define name     / group order = internal style(header) = [just=l] style(column) = [just=l vjust=b cellwidth=35.0% asis=on] "name "                                               ;
	define age    / group order = internal style(header) = [just=l] style(column) = [just=l vjust=b cellwidth= 5.0% asis=on] "age"                                              ;

Isn't the limitation because NAME has a length of 200? If you increase that in your first portion does it work?

length name $200;
