It you have one typo then generally you will get either an error or a warning.

You can have two typos and get both.

974  porc mean; run;

     ----

     14

ERROR:Procedure MEAN not found.

WARNING14-169: Assuming the symbol PROC was misspelled as porc.

Of course you could misspell something and generate another valid statement.  In that case you have an error, but you might not get either an error message or a warning message.

It's a trick question!  You might get and error or you might get a warning.  I can't recall ever seeing a case where one such error returned both an error and a warning.
