At the end of the process SAS send me an email with the log file. With which automatic macro variable could I check if there was an error in the execution? In this manner I'd avoid receiving the whole log file.<BR /> <BR /> Thank you Tue, 17 May 2011 08:41:59 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Error-handling-in-batch-mode/m-p/66212#M18890 HDSimo 2011-05-17T08:41:59Z Re: Error handling in batch mode https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Error-handling-in-batch-mode/m-p/66213#M18891 Hi<BR /> <BR /> Wouldn't this just be to collect the highest exit code of the SAS programs you're submitting (as part of the dos script).<BR /> <BR /> As I understand it each of these programs is submitted in batch (within this .bat file).
