Problem Note 63532: You might encounter looping or an abend when you terminate a SAS® session
 |  |  |  |  |
You might encounter intermittent looping or an abend during SAS termination when you use SAS® 9.4M4 (TS1M4) and later. This issue has been seen only when normal SAS termination begins after you use the SIGNOFF command to disconnect SAS/CONNECT® from a remote connection.
In this scenario, the SAS log contains the normal SAS session used messages.
The problem can occur only during a small time frame. It is recommended that any sites running SAS 9.4M4 and later should apply the hot fix in order to mitigate the potential for this issue.
