Using a CONTINUE statement inside a DO UNTIL loop with PROC DS2 causes an infinite loop. The example code on the Full Code tab illustrates the problem.

There is currently no circumvention for this problem other than removing the CONTINUE statement.

* For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be fixed.

This code illustrates the infinite loop that occurs when the CONTINUE statement is used within a DO UNTIL loop with PROC DS2.

proc ds2;
   data _null_;
      method init();
         do until (1);
            put 'loop';
            continue;
         end;
      end;
   enddata;
run;
quit;
