thanks for providing an exact integer for that DOS command-line length

This Windows/DOS line length limit
is one of the reasons that I recommend creating
both a SAS.bat and SASv9.cfg in a project folder:
having long system-specific psychobabble in separate files
allows you to read the meaningful information:

- - - MyProgram.bat - - -
sas MyProgram
