Subject:      Re: how to stop program execution?

John,

If you mean by "stop execution" to "end sas", then
try this which I tested on OpenVMS using SAS version 6.12 in a Data Step
and within a PROC .

 %macro _endsas;
   endsas;
 %mend _endsas;

Just call the macro %_endsas

or simply put the statement "endsas;" anywhere you wish.  Not sure if
this answers your question.

Regards,
Charles Patridge
