SAS SYSCC Macro Variable Behaviour












0















It is my understanding that if a SAS process hits an error that the value of &SYSCC. will not be 0. which is the success return code. I am writing said variable to a text file to act as a go/no go signal to a Python script that I am using to orchestrate some wider processes.



Whilst testing the behaviour of said variable by triggering some simple, deliberate errors I have noticed that it is still returning zero:



%macro test;





sdsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfs



%put &syscc. **********************************;



%mend;



%test;


Have I misunderstood something?



Thanks

          This is a timing issue. No error has been generated at the point at which the %put statement executes. The %test macro generates some text (sdsfsdfs..) and writes a valid put statement. The semicolon after the macro invocation ; creates a statement boundary (sdsfsdf...;) which then throws an error.



          Order of execution:



          1) compile macro



          2) execute macro (%test)



          3) execute %put statement



          4) send sdsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfs to input stack



          5) finish executing macro



          6) send final semicolon to input stack (;)



          7) sdsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfs; is executed, which likely throws an error (it's too long to be a variable name but could be part of a valid %let statement);
