Do you know about the ERRORABEND option? That will abort a SAS program when an error is encountered.
You may also want to check out the ERRORCHECK and SYNTAXCHECK options and error handling in general:
It's funny that you ask if you can do something - didn't occured to you that you could test it yourself first?
You might want to check documentation for the %sysrc macro that returns values related to error conditons.
Also the system automatic macro variable SYSERR which is set at each step boundary (data step or procedure call)
