SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 48412: Text that contains tokens that are longer than 255 characters might not be stored correctly within a compiled macro definition
 |  |  |  |  |
When compiling a macro, text that is longer than 255 bytes might be accidentally split. As a result, a blank is inserted in the spelling of the token. Subsequently, when the split token is parsed, an error is issued.
For example, you might see the following error:
ERROR: The token currently being processed is in an incomplete state. You might have an
unbalanced single quoted string or a token exceeding the maximum length of 65535
characters.
