another trick achieves the original objective.. almost fully !
put each variable on a separate row.
Clearly the width is a problem. So trade width for depth.
Instead of expecting to print all variables in columns
as given by  put (_all_)( : ); for csv-type output
just print with
  data _null_;
     set your.data;
     file print;
     put / (_all_)(/=);
  run;
Then you get name=value pairs, one pair per line, and
a blank line separating observations.
The max width is the max width of any var and its name.

It is simple, it works, and it is probably the quickest way to
persuade the original "requirement-definer" to   "get real"

Peter Crawford

Nachrichtentext:

One way to "tighten up" a report is to combine fields. This is most
appropriate for related text fields. For example, if first name, last name,
middle initial, and title are separate fields like

   Last       First       Middle    Title
   Name       Name        Initial

   Adams      John        Q.        President
   Doe        John
   Jeter      Derek                 Shortstop

Concatenate and present as one field

   Name (Title)

   Adams, John Q. (President)
   Doe, John
   Jeter, Derek (Shortstop)
