How can I stop the SAS running when an error happens? See the log below. I hope that SAS completely stops whenever an error occurs, not even running with OBS=0. Thanks!!

3          data claim;
4              set hosp.dischage;
ERROR: File HOSP.DISCHAGE.DATA does not exist.^MERROR: File HOSP.DISCHAGE.DATA does not exist.^MERROR: File HOSP.DISCHAGE.DATA does not exist.
5              if _error_ then abort;
6          run;
NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
NOTE: SAS set option OBS=0 and will continue to check statements. This may cause NOTE: No observations in data set.
