while trying to export SAS dataset to xml file in specific schema 

i used the below code which works fine in case the whole line length less than 200 character 

<tag>+<field_name>+</tag> <=200 

else only 200 character from Left hand side are written into the output file 

please help as this field can be 4000 character and i cannot write it to the xml this way 

or if there is a better way to write xml file using dataset which contain two columns 

 

 

filename outxml '<file-path>';
data _null_;
set work.<dataset_name> NOBS=lst;
put '<tag>';
if (condition) then put <field_name> '</tag>' ; 
end;
run;

Try: data _null_; file "c:\temp.xml" linesize=32767; ... run;

Or filename outxml 'c:\temp.xml' lrecl=32767;
