Problem Note 2952: Method signature string may truncate at 200 characters in METHOD
statement
If you use the Class Editor in SAS/AF Software and are defining a
signature string for a new method that constructs a METHOD statement of
more than 200 characters, the METHOD statement may be truncated at 200
characters in the Description area (textpad control) at the bottom of
the Class Editor window. If you copy the displayed code from this
textpad control into your source entry via the Copy code pop-up menu
selection, the METHOD statement will also be truncated in your source
entry. This truncation occurs because the textpad control is clipping
text at 200 characters.
To circumvent this problem, you will need to edit the source entry and
add the arguments that were excluded from the METHOD statement.
