Hi ,all ,
data test;
a="test";
label a="NCI CTCAE Grade (3)/Severity (4)/ Action Taken with Investigational product
(5)/ Outcome (6)/ Ongoing / End DateRelationship to Investigational Product
(7) / Relationship to administration procedure
(8)/ Relationship to concomitant medication (9)/ Suspected cause other than investigational product and concomitant medication";
run;
In Variable ,Lenght of label value too long and would be truncated to a length of 256 bytes.
So Do you have any advice to resolve this issue and show completed label value??
Thank you very much
Not helpful, i know, but i think a label of more than 50 chars is far to long to be used anywhere. Maybe using footnotes in a report or a format to show text instead of values could solve the issue.
The label is physically limited to 256 bytes.
Put this explanation into a footnote wherever needed.
Consider creating a lookup dataset with these values, from which you can create text automatically.
Can you show an example of other code you use where that label is desirable?
I have used long labels as such to document what some variable starts as, such as the text of a survey question but very seldom use those labels in reports or analysis.
