Hello,   I'll like to know if there's a limite in the number of characters in the source/target path of the SAS Enterprise Guide Copy File Task? I noticed when copying from Windows to Linux that source path below 255 characters are truncated. My labtop is Windows 10 and SAS 9.4 is installed on Linux. I have read that Windows paths are limited to 255 characters so not sure why the EG Task is truncating.   I understand it is not a good practice to have long path names but these are business folders  with a naming convention. So I'll like to understand the Copy Task limit before considering any review of the folder architecture.   My SAS is in French so I have translated the Log to English. So output might be different if you intend to execute at your end.   Example KO path length =  236: source file = D:\OAAM\SAS2\groupe2\GPBM_COVEACONTROLEECONOMIQUE\10_Outils\2021\4_SEMESTRIEL\4_4 COVEA\4_4_1 ABC PROD\4_4_1_9 PRECALCUL\4_4_1_9_4 DONNEES REFAC\CHGM_NET_PRECALCUL_PR\PRECALCUL_PRECALCUL\CHGM_NET_PRECALCUL_PR_202112_20210_1234_260.xlsx Log: Dowloading file from "PP20050810" to SAS session on "MMAApp".
