proc print truncated

[GeorgeSAS]

Hello,

How to split proc print a very long row into different lines to avoid of being truncated?

Here is the example SAS code: x2 and x3 are too long and were truncated,I want to print them into several lines without being truncated.

Thanks!

data n;

x='11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111';

x2=x||x;

x3=x2||x2;

run;

option ls=max;

proc print data=n;

run;

Not with PROC PRINT.  You would have to switch to PROC REPORT and use the WRAP option.

Hi:
WRAP only works with LISTING output. So if you want to control cellwidth and impact text flow, then use a STYLE attribute and the WIDTH= style attribute.

You have some control with SQL printing:

proc sql flow=30 40;
select * from n;
quit;
