what is the effect of the options statement errors=1? : Sas programming..

Answer / Mrinal Kaushick

The OPTIONS statement with ERRORS=1 in SAS changes the default behavior for how SAS handles errors. With ERRORS=1, SAS will continue processing data steps even if errors occur, but it will issue a warning message and set the system option _ERROR_= to 1. This allows you to use the PROC MEANS or PROC SQL procedures to analyze the number of observations read and written in the data step.
