Problem Note 17208: A long format length may cause a system error in PROC REPORT
A system specific error may occur in PROC REPORT if the format of a
variable is long.
To determine which variable has the long format, add the LIST option to
the PROC REPORT statement and rerun the code. The basic PROC REPORT code
will be listed in the SAS log.
A workaround would be to use a smaller format.
A fix for SAS 9.1.3 (9.1 TS1M3) for this issue is available at:
