Hello,

 

I have a SAS programme which is made up of a series of %include statements (run in batch mode over Windows), like this:

 

%incude "path/programm1.sas";

%incude "path/programm2.sas";

%incude "path/programm3.sas";

 

If I have a macro in "programme2.sas" that executes the %ABORT with the ABEND option, will control pass back to the main programme and continue on to "programm3.sas", or will the batch session terminate?

 

Thanks

 

Jim

If you use %ABORT ABEND, the batch program will terminate immediately and report an error to the calling environment.

 

If you want the program to continue with the next %INCLUDE file instead, use %ABORT CANCEL FILE, which does exactly that.
