SAS Errors - Missing a Semicolon

Overview

This is an example problem that demonstrates what a missing semicolon error will generate in the SAS log file. For this example, we are using the same problem description and dataset as used in Example 2, Using proc freq.

In this case, we have deliberately left off a semicolon in the SAS file at the end of the input statement.

  • The SAS program used, error1.sas
  • The data file used, example2.dat
  • The SAS log file generated with explanation, error1.log
