Syntax

%RETURN;

The %RETURN macro causes normal termination of the currently executing macro.

In this example, if the error variable is set to 1, then the macro will stop executing and the DATA step will not execute.

%macro checkit(error);
   %if &error = 1 %then %return;
    data a;
       x=1;
    run;
%mend checkit;
%checkit(0)
%checkit(1)
