stop processing code if a certain condition is met

Hi There,

I've created some codes which run automatically when run command is pressed, but i need to be run only when certain conditions are met, otherwise should stop and close the SAS program (if possible).

eg. after 4 pm on Friday

Any help

Such tasks are handled by schedulers. Depending on the code you have, it could be possible to add some checks and terminate the sas process, but i can't recommend re-inventing the wheel.

Here is a possibility:

data _null_;
    if weekday(today())=6 and timepart(datetime())>'16:00't then endsas;
run;
