SAS Code - conditional execution of code

jaiganesh — Sun, 17 Nov 2019 19:23:29 GMT

Hello,

I've below set of code to be execute.

Data Test;

set mock;

if count eq 0 then ---> it should go the list line of the program i,e line no 45. All middle line of codes should not be read neither execute.

Is there any way to jump directly from one line of Code to other line of Code (irrespective of any data steps) ?

I believe , SAS may not allow this , Any suggestion would be appreciated on this.

You cannot do this with line numbers.

If you define a macro, and if you add labels at various points, you can use %GOTO to move to the position where that label occurs. See:

Depending on the code needed to run you could choose to use either macros or CALL EXECUTE or %INCLUDE to execute select statements. There's also the DO/END option within a data step.

Maybe show an entire data step with the conditions needed.

SAS data step has several ways to execute (or not) code: do/ end, If/then/else, Select, GO TO (or GOTO ) Label; Link,
