Getting Started with SAS under OpenVMS

Ending Your SAS Session

You can end your SAS session using one of the following methods:

Select File Exit if you are using SAS in the windowing environment.
Submit endsas; .
Enter BYE on the command line.
Press CTRL+Z if you are using SAS in interactive line mode.

If SAS encounters an error or warning condition when the SAS log is not available, then any messages that SAS issues are written to the SAS console log. Normally, the SAS log is unavailable only early in SAS initialization and late in SAS termination.

Under OpenVMS, the SYS$OUTPUT logical name specifies the location of the console log. This location depends on the user mode. If you are working in interactive mode or using a command procedure, SAS displays the error messages at your terminal. If you are working in batch mode, SAS writes the error messages to a batch log file.
