can a sas job exit code be defined manually?

[Sandhyaa]

We have a requirement, to schedule the jobs in the LSF scheduler, based on the exit code of a job. Is there any possibility to specifiy a user defined exit code for a job in SAS DI?

By programming you can use abort (return/abend) statement within a data step.

In some cases you can use the status handling alternatives in DI Studio for this, depending on how you wish do implement it.

Thanks Linus. The abort statement works.
