DI Studio - How do I force a job to exit?

kjarvis — Tue, 23 Feb 2021 01:11:11 GMT

Hello - we want to develop code that would force the job to exit based on a certain value in a table.

Basically this is for a validation check - if the count in a table is zero, the job should finish successfully. If the count is > zero - then the job should error out and stop processing.

If there a way to force a job to stop based on this logic? Thank you!

In Status Handling for jobs and transformations there are some default conditions and actions where you could do such things.

Unfortenately there is no default condtion of a certain table has zero rows,

So depending on what leads up to you having zero rows, you might be able to use a condition of Data Modified?

Otherwise you could code this fairly easy, perhaps write a macro that check no of obs given your table of interest, and then force the SAS job to quit using ABORT ABEND. Insert the macro either as a post processing for the transformation or the job. Or you could bundle it into a User Writter Transformation to make it visible in the job canvas.
