Usage Note 8328: %INCLUDE of file with LRECL greater than 2000 causes problems
Doing %INCLUDE on a file with an LRECL greater than 2000 may produce
inconsistent results. The results vary from error messages in the Log
to the appearance that the DATA step is looping.
The %INCLUDE statement is limited to processing files with LRECL=2000 when running SAS prior to SAS 9.1. For SAS 9.1 and beyond the maximum length for processing files with %INCLUDE is 6,000 characters (LRECL=6000).
For further information on submitting SAS code, %INCLUDE, and possible truncated data, records, or source lines see the followng SAS Notes:
#004448, #015883 , and #039619.
