This was driving me crazy too.  Here's is the official SAS statement:   "Beginning in SAS 9.2 PROC EXPORT and the EXPORT WIZARD limit the record length of an external file to 32767. At this time there is not a way to increase the LRECL= value to be greater than 32767."   There are two workarounds, I think using ods for my data is insane so hopefully the macro will work.   http://support.sas.com/kb/40/906.html ...
