Syntax errors occur when program statements do not conform to the rules of the SAS language.
Here are some examples of syntax errors:
1.misspelled SAS keyword
2.unmatched quotation marks
3.missing a semicolon
4.invalid statement option
5.invalid data set option
So, the code color gets changed in the editor and we can find out easily.
