36070 - Extraneous code might be added if CALL EXECUTE is used to generate many ODS HTML statements

Problem Note 36070: Extraneous code might be added if CALL EXECUTE is used to generate many ODS HTML statements

If a SAS macro containing ODS HTML code is invoked with CALL EXECUTE and the macro generates thousands of lines of code, the ODS HTML statements might generate syntax errors like the following:

ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.

The SAS Log might show truncated code or extra characters in the ODS HTML statements such as: +, >, or <.
