I am trying to geocode a large number of addresses at once using proc geocode. SAS sometimes gets hung up trying to geocode a single address that is overly general (made up example= 311 N.E. with a valid city, state and zip) and stops the entire geocoding proccess by producing the error below. This makes it really difficult to geocode a lot of addresses at once because the geocoding program stops entirely. Is there a way to: 1) keep this error from happeining Or 2) get sas to continue where it left off once it encounters the error NOTE: The map data sets in library MAPSGFK are based on the digital maps from GfK GeoMarketing and are covered by their Copyright.

NOTE: Address data set had only 1 observations. Intermediate progress times not output.
