SYSCC

SYSCC

Contains the current condition code that SAS returns to your operating environment (the operating environment condition code)

Type: Automatic macro variable (read and write)

Details

SYSCC is a read/write automatic macro variable that enables you to reset the job condition code and to recover from conditions that prevent subsequent steps from running.

A normal exit internally to SAS is 0. The host code translates the internal value to a meaningful condition code by each host for each operating environment. &SYSCC of 0 at SAS termination is the value of success for that operating environment's return code.

Examples of successful condition codes are

Operating System Value

OS/390 RC 0

Open/VMS $STATUS = 1

Operating System	Value
OS/390	RC 0
Open/VMS	$STATUS = 1

The method to check the operating system return code is host dependent.

The warning condition code in SAS sets &SYSCC to 4.
