Simon,
It is a long term neglected problem. The simplest answer is to use %WINDOW
and %DISPLAY to throw up a window and ask the user to his ctrl+break for
you. The alternative is to design the program with macro code so that it
can gracefully stop executing. In the simplest case it can be as easy as
using
"%GOTO MEXIT;" at the right place in the macro and a label %MEXIT at the
bottom of the macro. It gets messier as the error occurs deep and deeper in
a chain of macro calls.

Subject: Stopping SAS running using Win NT
We want to conditionally stop SAS running using a simple command, but we
dont want the SAS DMS session terminated as well. We will add some code
that if a certain criteria isnt met then stop running the code from there
onwards.
We are running V8.2 on a NT client and an NT Server using SAS/CONNECT.
I have tried ENDSAS but this closes our SAS DMS session, is there another
command that just stops the run (in much the same way as ctrl+break does)
and returns control to the user?
I have searched the web and help but must be putting in the wrong search
terms as I have found nothing.
Thanks,
Simon
