how do u validate sas program..

Answer / arjun

First of all, what do you mean by 'validate' SAS program? I
assume that you need to perform syntactical checks before
executing the program/ code. In that case, one of the ways
could be - at the beginning of the code, write OPTIONS
OBS=0 in addition to other options and then RUN it. This
way data will not be processed and the log shows error
messages/ warnings, if any. Otherwise, if you are executing
the SAS code on PC SAS, the highlighted colors itself shows
the syntactical errors, if any.
