Recovery Processing

The interface view engine does not perform recovery processing as part of its normal behavior. The engine issues a database commit statement only once after a procedure or DATA step completes, unless an error is encountered. When an error is encountered, processing stops and no rollback is attempted. You can implement basic recovery techniques by using the DDBCOMIT= and DDBERLMT= data set options, either individually or together. The DDBCOMIT= option enables you to specify the number of records that are processed before a database commit is issued, including rows that are not processed successfully. DDBERLMT= enables you to specify the number of errors before SAS stops processing and initiates a rollback. For more information about the options, including their interaction with each other, see Data Set Options.
