When you execute a SAS^® Stored Process from a Web client, the prompt field for a file or directory name on the Parameters Web page is set at a fixed length. As a result, the entire name of the selected file or directory might not appear:

For more information about prompt pages, see Using the SAS Stored Process Web Application Pages: Prompt Page in the SAS^® 9.4 Stored Processes: Developer’s Guide, Third Edition.

However, you can create a custom input form that has a wider field for the file or directory name. For example, include the <INPUT> tag for the custom input form, as follows:
