if a program has some 1000 or more line and how to know whether the syntax of the particular code is correct without checking it manually

Answer Posted / sasswarup

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.
