SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 62392: The LEAVE and CONTINUE statements generate errors when they are used with PROC FCMP
 |  |  |  |
The LEAVE and CONTINUE statements generate the following error when they are used with PROC FCMP:
ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.
This issue is corrected in the fourth maintenance release of SAS® 9.4 (TS1M4).
To circumvent this issue, use a DO UNTIL loop. When the condition is met and you want to leave the loop, set the condition that satisfies the UNTIL and terminate the loop. Here is an example:
leave=0;
do until(leave>0);
qwe+1;
output;
if qwe > 10 then leave=1;
end;
do until(leave>0);
qwe+1;
output;
if qwe > 10 then leave=1;
end;
