Subject:   Number of Format statements in a datastep limited under Windows?
Content-Type:   text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Posted for a friend.

Running a piece of code, originally developed under Unix, under Windows. The dataset has >7,000 fields, which need to be formatted. However, only 4,096 format statements will load without crashing the datastep. It works OK without the format statements. I can't find any reference to an OS-specific limit on number of format statements.
