Never mind. I guess it was truncating at $40 and in the dataset that
cntlout= creates, it set the field 'default' to 40. We inserted two
that had length $47 into the middle of the pack, so the whole format got
read in as $40, thus the truncation.

Subject: Truncation with formats
Hi,
I'm using proc format with cntlin= to pull in our formats from a
dataset. The label for the format is currently set at maxlablen=66.
However, when I use the formats associated with some of the longer label
values, it seems to be truncating at $32 in proc print and proc report.
Is there something else I need to be telling SAS to get these longer
formats to work?
Thanks
