- STEPRESTART
-
enables restart mode, which specifies to execute the batch
program by using the checkpoint-restart data.
- NOSTEPRESTART
-
disables restart mode, which specifies not to execute the
batch program using checkpoint-restart data.
You specify the STEPRESTART option when you want to resubmit
a batch program that ran in checkpoint mode and terminated before it completed.
When you resubmit the batch program, SAS determines from the checkpoint data
which DATA step or PROC step was executing when the program terminated, and
resumes executing the batch program by using that DATA or PROC step.
