Problem Note 33656: Long format names might cause errors when using the Where Expression window in Viewtable
In SAS 9.2, the Viewtable officially supports long format names. However, users might encounter problems when looking up distinct values in the Where Expression window. This will occur if a format name of more than 13 characters is used, and if the length of any of the formatted values is 10 characters or more.
