Dear SAS users,

After I run proc template sas keeps running and I receive the ERROR 79-322: Expecting a -.

Any idea, how can I stop SAS from processing the command and fix the issue?

Thank you!

Hello,

we need to know which SAS version you are running.

In SAS 9.4Mx, there's a BREAK icon on the toolbar above the LOG-screen (just left from the HELP icon).

In Viya, you can also interrupt processing, but I don't have a VIYA session alive at this moment.

Show us the LOG for this run of PROC TEMPLATE. We need to see all of the LOG for PROC TEMPLATE, every single character, 100% of it.

 

Please format the log so that it is readable, by clicking on the </> icon and pasting the LOG as text into the window that appears. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!
