When I export code from EG and then try to run batch using SASGSUB one line is truncated by SASGSUB and causes errors.

ODS HTML(ID=EGHTMLX) FILE=EGHTMLX ENCODING='utf-8' STYLE=HtmlBlue STYLESHEET=(URL="file:///C:/Program%20Files/SASHome/SASEnterpriseGuide/5.1/Styles/HtmlBlue.css") ATTRIBUTES=("CODEBASE"="http://www2.sas.com/codebase/graph/v93/sasgraph.exe#version=9,3") NOGTITLE NOGFOOTNOTE GPATH=&sasworklocation;

Is there anyway to force Export to wrap this line or SASGSUB to read more characters per line?

I doubt that EG Export could wrap the line, because depending on what is on the line wrapping it could introduce errors.

Here's a snippet from Usage Note 15883, perhaps you could try passing the lrecl parm to SAS via the -GRIDSASOPTS parm?

Submitting a SAS program via a batch file imposes a maximum

length limit of 256 characters prior to SAS 9.2.  For SAS 9.2

and beyond you can use the new SAS system option of LRECL= to

specify a range of 1-32767 to use for reading and writing

external files.  The default for the LRECL= system option is

256.  This option is valid in the configuration file, at SAS

invocation, the OPTIONS statement, or the SAS Systems Option

window.  Under z/OS, the LRECL= system option is recognized only

for reading and writing HFS files.
