Error Messages for SAS under Windows

Using SAS Features

This section describes errors you can receive while using features of the SAS language and procedures under Windows. Always check the syntax of the statement or procedure you are using. Also, if you do not get the results you expect, check the contents of any external files or SAS files to be sure they are correct.
