stops the step and issues an error message to the log immediately. This is the default for batch mode.
terminates the step and issues an error message to the log, and ends the SAS session.
For data files, automatically repairs and rebuilds indexes and integrity constraints, unless the data file is truncated. You use the REPAIR statement to restore the truncated data file. It issues a warning message to the log. This is the default for interactive mode. For catalogs, automatically deletes catalog entries for which an error occurs during the repair process.
For data files, automatically repairs the data file without the indexes and integrity constraints, deletes the index file, updates the data file to reflect the disabled indexes and integrity constraints, and limits the data file to be opened only in INPUT mode. A warning is written to the SAS log instructing you to execute the PROC DATASETS REBUILD statement to correct or delete the disabled indexes and integrity constraints. For more information, see the REBUILD Statement and Recovering Disabled Indexes and Integrity Constraints.
Restriction: | NOINDEX does not apply to damaged catalogs or libraries, only data files. |
For data sets, displays a dialog box where you can specify either FAIL, ABORT, REPAIR, or NOINDEX. For a damaged catalog or library, PROMPT displays a dialog box where you can specify either FAIL, ABORT, or REPAIR.
