Igor,

Use Proc Report with the FLOW option: Sample (untested code):

proc report nowindows data=your input ls=252;; column yourvariable; define yourvariable / width=250 flow; quit; run;

HTH, Dennis Diskin

I have only one character variable in my dataset. It's 300 in length (we use SAS 8.02 so it's possible).

But whenever I try to run proc print on it I see only the first 252 characters out of 300.

And here's my LOG:

WARNING: Data too long for column "x"; truncated to 252 characters to fit.

The question is how do I get to display all 300 characters?

Thanks,

Igor Kurbeko
