EXPCOLUMNLEN=column-length

- column-length
-
specifies the length of the SAS column when expressions
are used. Valid values are integers from 1 to a maximum SAS column size.
When character data items are defined with expressions
in an information map, the length of the resulting SAS column cannot be readily
determined by the Information Maps engine. Use the EXPCOLUMNLEN= option to
assign a value to the length of the column. This value can be tuned based
on an understanding of the results of the expression and of the data involved.
