Problem Note 40906: PROC EXPORT and EXPORT WIZARD limit record length to 32767 beginning in SAS® 9.2

DetailsAboutRate It

Beginning in SAS 9.2 PROC EXPORT and the EXPORT WIZARD limit the record length of an external file to 32767. At this time there is not a way to increase the LRECL= value to be greater than 32767.

Other approaches to creating an external file in which you have control of the record length is to use the DATA Step or macro logic. Here is the link to a sample using macro logic:
