We have been using the simple macro for years as a quick way to export to a dbf. It works great except that field names over 8 characters are truncated. Is there an easy solution that would allow longer field names.

example:
%macro exportdbf(filename,data);
PROC EXPORT DATA= &data
OUTFILE= "&filename"
DBMS=DBF REPLACE;
RUN;
%mend;
