&syserr macro not working in Proc data sets

[chirumalla]

Hi I'm using Proc datasets moving option to moving data from one library to another if datasets not available I need to capture Warning/error from code. Same &syserr macro working in data step but not working in proc datasets. pls advise me how to capture error.

/*1-WORKING*/

data NULL;

set doesnotexist;

run; 

%put &syserr;

/*2-NOT WORKING*/

PROC DATASETS;

COPY IN=Source OUT=Target MOVE MEMTYPE=DATA;

RUN;

%put &syserr;

SYSERR is reset at step boundaries.

Proc Datasets is an interactive procedure and needs a quit statement.

PROC DATASETS;

COPY IN=Source OUT=Target MOVE MEMTYPE=DATA;

RUN;quit;

%put &syserr;

13   PROC DATASETS;

                               Member   File

                      #  Name  Type     Size  Last Modified

                      1  NULL  DATA     5120  13-Apr-14 09:30:41 PM

14   COPY IN=Source OUT=Target MOVE MEMTYPE=DATA;

15   RUN;

ERROR: Libname SOURCE is not assigned.
