PROCs which are non-interactive end with RUN (examples: PROC MEANS, PROC FREQ)

Other PROCs are interactive, statements execute immediately or when a RUN; is encountered, and so the PROC must end with QUIT (examples: PROC SQL, PROC GLM)

In my opinion, it's easiest to just memorize which ones need QUIT.
