SAS not running code

2
votes

Beginner SAS user here. I'm not quite sure what I've done but for whatever reason none of my code is running anymore. What I mean by this is when I press submit code/F8, nothing happens, and my log just shows what I submitted (it is basically a copy of my code). This is the case whether I try to run an entire program or just a piece of it.

It doesn't seem to be code specific. I've pulled up old code that I know has ran in the past, and the behavior is exactly the same. I'm wondering if I've triggered some kind of setting somewhere...

Thanks for any help.

You might want to clarify if this is in Base SAS or Enterprise Guide. – Joe

You probably have unbalanced quotation marks.. (or something else is awry, eg missing %mend; statement or end bracket). If starting a new session is not an option, try running the following:

;*';*";*/;)))%mend;quit;
