If submitted code contains mismatched quotes, comments, parentheses, or is missing a final RUN statement or necessary semicolon, the SAS session might become unresponsive. Submitting an ENDSAS statement or clicking Cancel might not prove helpful in regaining control of the session. If the cause of the problem is not an open window requiring action like the following:
REPORT window
MACRO window
FSEDIT window
Use the sample code in the Full Code section to complete the following:
Missing semicolon
Missing %MEND;
Missing parenthesis
Missing single quote
Missing double quote
Missing RUN;
Missing ending comment
The code does not guarantee that the session will return focus to the Program Editor, Enhanced Editor, Log, or Output window. If focus is not returned after submitting the sample code once or multiple times, it will be necessary to close the SAS session by selecting File ► Exit from the SAS menu bar, or by clicking the Close button.
