In PC SAS 9.4, how to leave the rest of code not to be executed

GeorgeSAS — Fri, 08 Jul 2016 13:29:30 GMT

Hello everyone,

I know "ENDSAS" can stop and exit SAS immedietely. but I don't want SAS exit,I just want it stop execute the rest code.

Is there any other function code I can use during the code line to stop execute the rest lines of codes?

Thanks!

You can turn on syntax check mode. SAS will still go over your code but not execute anything (apart from data_null_ steps). Look at the options SYNTAXCHECK and DMSSYNCHK. Consider adding NOREPLACE and OBS=0 to be safe.

Good luck,

In a datastep you can conditionally use the STOP to halt the step:

If <condition> then stop;

I would add  /*  between two type of code .
E.X.

data x;
 ....
run;
proc print;

/*

proc print;





And you will find only the code before /* be executed .
