Subject:      Re: Need to continue over SAS line

don't know, but try to split it in two or three or more macro variables
and fit them together:

%let url=the.first.part.oft.the.long.url;
%let url=&url.the.second.part.of.the.long.url;
%let url=&url.the.third.part;

then use the macro variable &url.
