Why is a STOP statement needed for the point=option on a
SET statement?

Answer Posted / 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.
