Problem Note 33557: SAS/CONNECT® software splits the token %IF in a macro that is greater than 256 characters
When you have a macro with more than 256 characters, SAS/CONNECT software splits the token %IF into two tokens, % and IF, when you remotely submit the macro from SAS® 9.2 to SAS® 9.1.3.
The following errors are examples of messages that will be displayed in the SAS log:
