There are several operating system type options you can use directly in the %INCLUDE statement without having to code a separate FILENAME statement. One example is when needing to increase the length of the source code being included to allow a longer length than the default length of 256 characters. You can specify a longer length using the LRECL=xxx option directly in the %INCLUDE statement following the / (forward slash).

Here is one example.

   %include "c:\myfiles\mySASsource" / lrecl=500;

For specific information on the options you can use in the %INCLUDE statement see the SAS documentation for your operating environment. The links are provided below:

   %INCLUDE Statement under Windows
   %INCLUDE Statement under UNIX
   %INCLUDE Statement under z/OS

For further information on %INCLUDE as well as limitations on length or possible truncated data, records, or source lines see the following SAS Notes: #004448, #008328 , and #0015883.
