Generally SAS program in the JCL gives a Return code at the end of the step. Inside the Step I think we can Modify the Return code.
I want to modify the Return code Value in the SAS, like forcing the abend while Testing.
Ex:- Move '8' to %SYSRC.
If anyone knows this please give me some syntax. |

hi,
You may use
| Code: |
DATA _NULL_;
ABORT ABEND;
|
to abend your application OR
you may use
| Code: |
DATA _NULL_;
ABORT 16;
|
or
| Code: |
DATA _NULL_;
RC=16;
RETURN;
|
to return specific code to JCL, which can be used in the steps below the EXEC SAS. |

Well ABORT ABEND is an inbulit SAS function. It just abends the job abnormally.
For SAS System message :
You may use SYSMSG function. |

[quote]Hi !! If we Code the below statements, will it abend at that step and return to the JCL and proceeds next step ?
OR
Will it store 16 as return code and perform the next steps in SAS and @ End of SAS code program will terminate??
| Code: |
DATA _NULL_;
RC=16;
RETURN;

1) No it will not abend at that step it is used to make steps followed after the EXEC SAS to flush with COND=ONLY within JCL.
2) To abend in SAS code you have to use ABORT ABEND only at an DATA STEP and SAS will terminate immediatly with errored steps (including steps followed by the step having ABORT ABEND). |

The above statement is not true. SAS will continue running and RC from SAS will still be 0.
You must use the ABORT statement to end SAS with a user provided return code. |

Hi Enrico,
I can assure you I have tested what I stated, rarely I don't test the code that I provide.

Surely you must be tempted at some stage to supply untested code, just to see what happens  |

99% of the times nobody cares |

| I once recall giving an explanation and sample of the code to work from to get the solution, only to have the OP in question post back saying that it didn't work because my code had the incorrect field positions in it |

My apologies for posting untested code.
And yes gcicchet you are right that SAS will return value 0 even if RC=16 with return is used within the SAS.
Thanks for correcting me. |

Could anyone please tell me the logic?
I want to modify the Return code Value in the SAS, like forcing the JOB abend while Testing.
My Requirement:
If the output file has only 1 record, then modify the return code, the job (SAS step) should end with a non-zero return code.
If the output file has more than 1 record, the job should end with zero return code.
Thanks in advance. |
