Hi,

Gotta say I never execute code from the command line. What I would say though is that the editor is advanced enought to comment out code, click to the left of the line to highlight the whole code line and press cntrl + / to comment out the row. Then you can just submit the program. Far easier once you get used to it.

What kind of SAS environment do you have then?
Sounds like you are mimic the programming and testing process from the seventies...

is it helpful? (assume your program is stored in temp.sas)

data _null_;
length command $100.;
infile "~/temp.sas" ;
input;
if _n_ in (1 3 5) then  call execute(_infile_);
run;

I would agree with @LinusH, IDE's are available for all OS's, at all levels and are designed to make testing, editing and such like far easier than typing things in at the command line.
