Subject:   Stop Processing on Any Problem
Content-Type:   text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hi SAS-Ler's,

I want to put a job in production and I want it to stop processing on even the smallest of problems. For example, if I dynamically allocate a SAS library but it doesn't exist, SAS prints a message but continues to process. I have got around this with the fileexist test before allocating but I still want to know how to make it abend. The same holds true if a variable that I preform a SAS date function has an invalid value. I get a warning but SAS continues to process. I tried the system option ERRORABEND but it is not doing what I expected.

TIA, Bob Fitzgerald
