Error Processing and Debugging : Debugging with the DATA Step Debugger
You
can debug logical errors in DATA steps by using the DATA step debugger. This
tool allows you to issue commands to execute DATA step statements one by one
and then pause to display the resulting variables' values in a window. By
observing the results that are displayed, you can determine where the logic
error lies. Because the debugger is interactive, you can repeat the process
of issuing commands and observing results as many times as needed in a single
debugging session. To invoke the debugger, add the DEBUG option to the DATA
statement and execute the program. For detailed information about how to use
the debugger, see "DATA Step Debugger" in
SAS Language Reference: Dictionary.
