Hi,
Couldn't find the difference between ERRORABEND , ENDSAS ,ABORT.
What i understand is ,all terminate the SAS session if encounter error. But what is the difference and when to use which statement.
Thanks
ERRORABEND is a SAS System option, causing the system to immediately exit when an error is encountered (default is to continue with obs=0)
ENDSAS and ABEND are statements; ENDSAS simply terminates the SAS job or session gracefully, while ABORT also gives you control over the exit code handed back to the operating system.
ABORT terminates the current step, sets obs=0 and lets the SAS session/job continue (default behaviour for ERRORs)
ABORT ABEND terminates the step and terminates the SAS session/job immediately.
