Hi hari,

An error or a warning is done by a data or proc step. So, if you want to track
this kind of return, you have to use &syserr after these steps to add a
statement.

data class;
set sash.class;
run;
%if &syserr >3 %then %do;
%window (... 'be careful' );
%end;

You can increase the informations of the window with a &sysprocname any variable
that you want to capture.

BUT, It's not a good way to work.
I mean if you want to let your program to others, the different ways of
execution of the process must be controlled by the program itself.

When a job production is done, usually the programmer anticipated various
alternatives which can arise during the execution and to control them:  to
leave in a Exception block after having carried out some tests of corrections
for example. Hari, you have to do the same.

Otherwise on the windows environment, you can propose to execute the code via C#
apps which can be able to control this.


Stéphane.
