Syntax

ENDSAS;

Without Arguments

The ENDSAS statement terminates a SAS job or session.

Details

ENDSAS is most useful in interactive or windowing sessions.

Note: ENDSAS statements are always executed at the point that they are encountered in a DATA step. Use the ABORT RETURN statement to stop processing when an error condition occurs--for example, in the clause of an IF-THEN statement or a SELECT statement. [cautionend]

You can also terminate a SAS job or session by using the BYE or the ENDSAS command from any SAS window command line. For details, refer to the online Help for SAS windows.
