Problem Note 40213: The file or directory name does not display entirely in the prompt field on the Parameters Web page for a SAS Stored Process executed in a Web client
When you execute a SAS® Stored Process from a Web client, the prompt field for a file or directory name on the Parameters Web page is set at a fixed length. As a result, the entire name of the selected file or directory might not appear:
Note: The entire name of the file or directory still populates the input field and passes to the SAS session in its entirety.
This issue occurs only when the prompt for the file or directory name is generated by SAS. An option to increase the size of this prompt that is generated by SAS® is not available. For more information about prompt pages, see Using the SAS Stored Process Web Application Pages: Prompt Page in the SAS® 9.2 Stored Processes: Developer’s Guide.
However, you can create a custom input form that has a wider field for the file or directory name. For example, include the <INPUT> tag for the custom input form, as follows:
<input type=file name=filenm size=100>
For more information about creating and using custom input forms, see SAS Note 38621, "Tips for creating a Custom Input Form for a SAS® Stored Process."
