Hi All

I have a table with approximately 500 fields and 500000 records and I want to export it to excel, but when I used 'proc export' the following error occurred:

ERROR: Error attempting to CREATE a DBMS table. ERROR: Execute: Too many fields defined..

Is there any way to export large-scale tables to excel sheets?

Thanks
