what is the use of LRECL option.
Answer / solasa
LRECL= option—Specifies the logical record length, in bytes.
This option is used when the records in a file are
longer than 256 bytes (on ASCII platforms). The default
input buffer is 256 bytes.
Records that exceed this length are truncated when they are
read.
Setting the LRECL= option to a greater length ensures that
the input buffer is long enough for the entire record to be
read. This is usually not an issue on EBCDIC platforms
because the data control block specifies the logical record
length for SAS.
As shown in the following example, the LRECL=
statement option in an INFILE statement overrides the LRECL=
system option, if it is used.
infile 'C:\mydata\test.dat' dsd truncover lrecl=4096;

There is a field containing a date. It needs to be displayed in the format "ddmonyy" if it's before 1975, "dd mon ccyy" if it's after 1985, and as 'Disco Years' if it's between 1975 and 1985. How would you accomplish this in data step code? Using only PROC FORMAT
