Problem Note 50474: SAS® Clinical Standards Toolkit 1.5 - Some macros allow path parameters that exceed the maximum length of $200 causing errors

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

In SAS® Clinical Standards Toolkit 1.5, some macros allow path parameters that exceed the maximum length of $200 causing errors.

There are examples where the code written to the source file exceeds $255 and contains a space that can cause the code to fail when it is submitted. If the space happens in a line of code where it does not make a difference, the program runs correctly. If it inserts a space where it is not allowed, the code fails. Consider something like proc pr int instead of proc print.

Also note, this effects any LIBNAME, INFILE, FILE, or other input or output macro parameters that have paths exceeding 255 characters.
