Hi,
I am trying to export a data set from SAS to SPSS and Excel.
Everything work fine except for the length of the variable label.
SPSS is limit to 128gb in the export (it is not a SPSS limit) and for Excel this is 256 (not a Excel limit).
Here is my code.
proc export data = PH2017c
outfile="C:\Users.xlsx"
dbms=xlsx
replace;
run;
proc export data = PH2017c
outfile="C:\Users"
dbms=spss replace;
fmtlib=library.formats;
run;
Thanks
I can hardly imagine anyone displaying a label with 128 billion characters. Labels are something for human consumption.
And contrary to your post, there IS a 120 character length limit on SPSS labels: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/120-character-limitation-using-spss-adding-value-labels-syntax
