topic Re: SAS DATA SET file name size in SAS Enterprise Guide https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/SAS-DATA-SET-file-name-size/m-p/75287#M7481 Doesn't look like you can give a non-default name to a SAS data set. If you're working with DBMS tables, you would be able to specify non-default names (assuming the database allows longer ones). That would involve using a name literal -- more on that at the bottom of this page:<BR /> <BR /> <A href="http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrcon/59522/HTML/default/a000998953.htm" target="_blank">http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrcon/59522/HTML/default/a000998953.htm</A><BR /> <BR /> Note the restriction:<BR /> You can use a name literal only for variables, statement labels, and DBMS column and table names.
