Answer / latha sunkara
When you use the POINT= option, you must include a STOP
statement to stop DATA step processing, programming logic
that checks for an invalid value of the POINT= variable, or
both. Because POINT= reads only those observations that are
specified in the DO statement, SAS cannot read an end-of-
file indicator as it would if the file were being read
sequentially. Because reading an end-of-file indicator ends
a DATA step automatically, failure to substitute another
means of ending the DATA step when you use POINT= can cause
the DATA step to go into a continuous loop.

Answer / dupe
just to add to the previous answer, if the stop statement
is executed, SAS cannot proceed to the bottom of the
datastep, where a run statement is encountered which forces
an explisit output of observation. To overcome this, you
will need to include the output statement before the stop
statement.

If you?re not wanting any SAS output from a data step, how would you code the data statement to prevent SAS from producing a set?
Assuming {et} is randomly drawn from N(0,1) and e0 = 0, generate 200 observations of xt = et − 0.5e(t−1) and draw a line graph of xt.
