%include program - Error when a line is too long

[hhchenfx]

Hi Everyone,

So I use %include to run program say sample.sas

In the sample.sas, there is line which is quite long and SAS return an error when reaching this line.

How can I increase the length of a line to be read by SAS?

(It is fine if I run sample.sas program manually)

Thanks

Make the line shorter. I would not want a 32K line in code, anyway, for sake of readability and maintainability

Why do you have a line that long?
