Delimiters are single character. So too many delimiters, to get to 200 you would exhaust every letter, digit and punctuation character, means practically every character is a delimiter. Which is likely to be particularly useless as you would not have much data when done.
Examine the result of this code using many delimiters:
data example;
infile datalines dlm=' abcdefABCDEF123456' missover;
input x $ ;
datalines;
abc
123
a1b2c3
aaa 333
;
Or are you wanting the DLMSTR option where groups of characters are a single delimiter?
