SAS program not running but no rrors in log

Dilani1 — Thu, 30 Jun 2022 19:49:35 GMT

Hi,

I am running a program with a macro, after creating a subset from a raw dataset.

The raw and new datasets are seen in the libraries, but when I run a proc contents or print or freq, the program editor says lines are submitted. No error message in the log, or any message to show success.

No results or output.

What do you think I am doing wrong here, please.

Thank you,

Dilani

It would be helpful if you provided a sample of your code. Try adding these macro options to display information in the log.

options symbolgen mprint;

Usually happens when there's a bug in the macro code somewhere so it thinks the macro is still being defined - missing %mend for example.

Sharing your code is helpful.

Can also try the magic string from here and then re-running your code, though may need a full restart.
