Checking the SAS Return Code in a REXX Exec
SAS Interfaces to ISPF and REXX Examples of REXX Execs 205
This REXX exec, called SHOWRC, demonstrates how the REXX variable RC can be
tested after a SAS step has run:
/*-------------- REXX exec SHOWRC ------------*/
/* Accepts as argument a SAS data set */
Parse Upper Arg ds_name .
Address SAS ’++SASLOG’
"data newdata; "
" set "ds_name"; "
" run; "
If rc = 0 Then
Say ’SAS DATA step completed successfully’
Else
Say ’SAS DATA step terminated with rc=’ rc
Exit
