hi,

I found in some old documentation, the code below can be executed, but in viya 3.4, it leads to errors.How can I change the code to get the same result? many 3x! the code below is to explain the usage of async and sync.

proc cas;

      action sessionid result=uuid_2 status=mystatus_2

               async=asyncstatus;

      print "before sync: uuid_2=" uuid_2 " mystatus_2="

               mystatus_2;

      sync asyncstatus;

      print " after sync: uuid_2=" uuid_2 " mystatus_2="

               mystatus_2;

run;

Hello,

I can find no documentation at Viya 3.3 or 3.4 regarding a "sync" cas action or "sync" casl statement.

In my Viya 3.4 environment, the satement "sync asyncstatus;" is causing this error:

ERROR: The action 'sync' was not submitted.
ERROR: Operand is not a list
ERROR: sync asyncstatus ;
ERROR: ^
ERROR: Execution halted

But this code worked for you at Viya 3.3 ?

Thanks for your help! the documentation I metioned above is not official, maybe it get something wrong I think.
