Problem Note 62306: A call of PROC FCMP might fail and return "ERROR: The text expression length (65535) exceeds maximum length (65534)"
 |  |  |  |  |
When you call a PROC FCMP function using %PUT and %SYSFUNC(), the call might fail and PROC FCMP might return an error similar to the following:
ERROR: The text expression length (65535) exceeds maximum length (65534). The text expression has been truncated to 65534 characters.
You encounter this problem when you run code similar to the following:
%put %sysfunc(function-name());
The expected behavior is that the text string should be allowed to remain at its defined length rather than be truncated.

When you call an FCMP procedure function using %PUT and %SYSFUNC(), PROC FCMP might return errors. In this scenario, the text string is truncated even though it should be allowed to remain at its defined length.
