ERRORHANDLING
|
-
DSNFERR
-
specifies that SAS issue an error message
and stop processing if a reference is made to a SAS data set that does not
exist.
-
NODSNFERR
-
specifies that SAS ignore the error message
and continue processing if a reference is made to a SAS data set that does
not exist. The data set reference is treated as if _NULL_ had been specified.
-
DSNFERR is similar to the BYERR system option,
which issues an error message and stops processing if the SORT procedure attempts
to sort a _NULL_ data set.
-
DSNFERR is similar to the VNFERR system option,
which sets the error flag for a missing variable when a _NULL_ data set is
used.
