Problem Note 9294: Long character value might not be visible in the FSVIEW window
If you have installed hot fix 82BB16 for Base SAS Software or the hot
fix bundle 82BX04 and you use the FSVIEW window to view a variable whose
value cannot be fully displayed, such as a character variable with a
length of 200, the value of that variable will not be visible in the
FSVIEW window.
To circumvent this problem, you can assign a format to the variable in
the FSVIEW window by issuing the FORMAT command as follows,
You will need to select a format width that your window can accomodate.
If you choose a width that is too wide, the variable values will still
not be visible.
