Problem Note 40155: Records are truncated when the logical record length (LRECL) of the input dataset is larger than the LRECL of the output data set
If you use the SOURCE procedure in SAS® 9.2 and the logical record length (LRECL) of the input data set is greater than the LRECL of the output data set, the following messages appear in your SAS log:
WARNING: Truncated record.
ERROR: Error writing to OUTDD=output_dataset.
Software releases prior to SAS 9.2 do not generate these messages. To avoid these messages, make the LRECL of the output data set identical to that of the input data set.
Operating System and Release Information
| SAS System | Base SAS | z/OS | 9.21 | 9.3 | 9.2 TS2M0 | 9.3 TS1M0 |
*
For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed
Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be
fixed.
In SAS 9.2, when the LRECL of the input dataset to PROC SOURCE is larger than the LRECL of the output dataset, a ERROR and WARNING are issued.
