SN-006050
Macro variable values have a limit of 64K

   The Version 8 Macro Language: Reference, whether accessed via hardcopy
   or SAS OnlineDoc, incorrectly states that macro variable values can
   range in length from 0 bytes to 32K. In Version 8, this limit was
   increased to 64K.

ah, my SQL table look-up tricks will continue to work!

"do I hear 128K?"

By using your SQL
