ERRORABEND vs INVALID DATA LINES

[Jaheuk]

Hi folks,
on mainframe my job should end with CC > 0 when INVALID DATA LINES are detected!!
However, I can not found any (system) option to do this??

ERRORABNED does NOT affect invalid data lines

Any suggestions?

You will need to check the SAS DATA step (automatic variable) _ERROR_ -- if it has a non-zero condition then a prior INPUT (function or statement) detected an invalid data condition, depending of course on your INFORMAT being used.

Then, it is your decision how to proceed and decide to use the ABORT statement with the appropriate ERRORABEND/NOERRORABEND system option set -- possibly during the DATA step execution but also possibly at End-of-File condition maybe (after all input data has been read up).
