Senthil, If you follow the links that others have provided, the main idea is that SAS limits the width to 256 in the print file.  However, you might try to work around this by defining your own output file (either in a DD statement in the JCL or in a SAS FILENAME statement).  Assuming you had properly defined a file with a larger linesize: //MYFILE DD .... And assuming you had also tried OPTIONS LINESIZE=1000 (or whatever large value you would like), redirect the PROC PRINT output to this file using: proc printto print=MYFILE; Then see if your PROC PRINT behaves the way you would like.  If that doesn't do the trick, you would have to resort to Tom's suggestion.  Depending on the number of variables in your data set, that could be a burden. Good luck. ... View more
