Subject:      WARNING: Record Truncated (Without an INFILE or INPUT?)

I saw a datastep in 8.2 on unix this week.  It seemed to be setting a
dataset (not a view) and selecting a few million records.  The log included
a warning.  It was simply:
WARNING: Record Truncated
The thing is, I think of records as flatfile data.  SAS observations are
observations and if one is truncated then the dataset is corrupt.  I
couldn't find any clues in the knowledge base, so I decided to try the
broader knowledge base here on the list.  Does anyone know what causes this
warning?

Thanks in Advance,
