https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/Do-loop-continue-and-leave-statements/m-p/982181#M379263 <P>Hello<BR />I am preparing for the Base SAS certification and studying using the Base SAS 9.4 book, I did not come across the continue and leave statements in the Do loops chapter. I did see them in the documentation , wondering do I need to learn these from the documentation for the cert exam. Appreciate your inputs.
