SAS Studio (OnDemand for Academics) ODS Error after trying to running Macro??!! Can't print anything

[Nietzsche]

Hello all.

I'm trying to learn SAS Macro using SAS OnDemand. I ran some script with Macro in it and somehow it screwed up SAS studio setting.

Testing SAS Studio's ability to print

I ran some simple data step then PROC PRINT in a new program with this simple data step and proc print.

/* Create a simple dataset called 'employees' */
data employees;
    input EmpID $ Name $ Age Salary;
    datalines;
101 John 28 50000
102 Mary 32 60000
103 Lisa 25 48000
104 Mark 40 75000
;
run;

/* Print the dataset */
proc print data=employees;
run;

nothing printed, log

 Any help would be appreciated.

You have left the SAS session that SAS/Studio uses to actually RUN your code in a state where it is waiting for you to complete a statement or comment.

The fastest way to fix it is to restart the SAS session.   You can do it from the menu or you should be able to use the F9 function key.  There is no need to logout of SAS/Studio.

Note that will lose all of your WORK datasets.

Where is the Macro related code that you ran? I don't see any.

If you are setting the NONOTES and NOSOURCE options then you will lose much of the diagnostic information needed to resolve issues that may be causing problems.

The note about the quoted string in the following indicates that somewhere prior you would likely have had a mismatched quote and the code parser isn't processing things as you think they are.

 NOTE: The quoted string currently being processed has become more than 262 bytes long.  You might have unbalanced quotation marks.

In addition to using options NOTES and SOURCE for debugging you may want to add the option MPRINT show the code actually generated by macros. If you are doing moderately complex macro variable manipulation then SYMBOLGEN is a good option to add and if there are issues with macro logic, i.e. %if that misbehave, add MLOGIC to the options before running macro code.
