Interrupting Your SAS Session
You can click the circled exclamation
point 
in the toolbar or press CTRL+BREAK to interrupt processing in your SAS session. Depending on what
tasks SAS is performing at the time of the interrupt, you can cancel submitted statements
or cancel an upload or download request. SAS prompts you with various choices (such
as to continue the interrupt or cancel it) in a dialog box.

Note: Depending on what tasks are
in progress when you interrupt your session, SAS can require several
seconds to stop processing.
SAS also supports the
common Windows methods of issuing interrupts: you can click the Control
menu icon and choose to close the application, or you can select Close from
the pop-up menu for SAS on the Windows Taskbar (or End
Task from within the Windows Task Manager). If you use
either of these methods, SAS displays a dialog box to enable you to
verify your selection. Note that the task might not close until SAS
has completed processing.
