How can we get SAS to update the code that SAS/Studio automatically pre-pends to the user code?  I am getting annoyed with this note that always appears at the top of my program logs.

INFO: Character variables have defaulted to a length of 200 at the places given by: (Line):(Column). Truncation can result.
       22:1     RC

It is caused by this bit of code.

 RC=TSLVL('GEOCODE','N');
 _ERROR_=0;
 IF (RC^=' ') THEN DO;
CALL SYMPUT("GRAPHINIT","GOPTIONS RESET=ALL GSFNAME=_GSFNAME;");
CALL SYMPUT("GRAPHTERM","GOPTIONS NOACCESSIBLE;");
END;

They could fix it by adding a LENGTH statement. Or moving the function call into the IF statement since they aren't using the RC variable for anything anyway.

Hey Tom!

 

I've found a couple of these myself, particularly in SAS University Edition.  I find that emailing SAS Support directly is the best way to get these added to the list.  Alternatively, you can add your idea to SAS Ballot; being someone as active as you are here, I'm sure you're already aware of both these options, I just wanted to give you my thoughts based on experience. 

 

Good luck and chat soon

Well that's better than nothing 🙂  hope it gets resolved soon.  In case you missed it, SAS has enabled us to download fixes just for SAS/Studio, without having to relicense all of SAS - so when the fix comes out, you'll get it right away.  I think this is great news.

 

have a great weekend!
