You can end your SAS session using several methods,
including:
-
selecting Close from
the control menu of the main SAS window
-
selecting

the

batch mode.

double-clicking on the control
menu of the main SAS window, or clicking on the X in
the upper right corner of the main SAS window
-
issuing the BYE or ENDSAS command
from a SAS command line
-
submitting an ENDSAS statement
-
closing the SAS session from the
Task List by selecting the session process (the process name differs
depending on how you started SAS) and selecting End Task
-
selecting Exit SAS from
the File menu in the main SAS window menu
bar
-
selecting Exit from
the File pop-up menu
-
pressing the Alt+F4 accelerator-key

If SAS terminates with
errors, the SAS log might contain error messages that explain the
failure. Any error message that SAS issues before the SAS log is
initialized are written to the
MSG window
if it is available or to the SAS console log, which is a Windows file.
Under Windows, the SAS console log is typically located in
c:\Users\user
ID\AppData. You can obtain the location and
filename for the SAS console log from the Application Event Log. To open the application Event
Log, submit
eventvwr from
the
Run dialog box and under Windows or newer
operating environments, expand the
Windows Logs category
and click
Application.
