Syntax

DISCONNECT FROM dbms-name|alias;

Required Arguments

alias

specifies the alias that is defined in the CONNECT statement.

dbms-name

specifies the DBMS from which you want to end the connection (for example, DB2 or ORACLE). The name that you specify should match the name that is specified in the CONNECT statement.

Details

An implicit COMMIT is performed before the DISCONNECT statement ends the DBMS connection. If a DISCONNECT statement is not submitted, then implicit DISCONNECT and COMMIT actions are performed and the connection to the DBMS is broken when PROC SQL terminates.
PROC SQL continues executing until you submit a QUIT statement, another SAS procedure, or a DATA step.
