You didn't post the log so hard to see if there was an issue with the way you submitted the code. Perhaps the lines were too long and became truncated?

But most likely an earlier error has put SAS into a mode where it is not running anyghing.

I would suggest looking higher in the log for the error that actually caused SAS to set OBS=0.
