Problem Note 40213: The file or directory name is not displayed 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 full 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® 9.4 Stored Processes: Developer’s Guide, Third Edition.
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:
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."
