Malformed SAS Code Snippet

This code is also available in: Deutsch Español Français
The code begins with a series of characters that do not constitute valid SAS© syntax. The `%MEND;` command is used to terminate a macro, but no macro is defined in this snippet, making its use incorrect. The `run cancel;` sequence is an attempt at execution or cancellation which, in this context, does not comply with SAS© grammar and would lead to compilation/execution errors.
Data Analysis

Type : NONE


No data is processed, read, or generated by this code snippet, as it is syntactically invalid and non-executable.

1 Code Block
INVALID_SYNTAX
Explanation :
This block is an example of invalid SAS syntax. The `%MEND;` is a macro termination keyword that cannot exist without a starting `%MACRO`. The `run cancel;` line is not a valid SAS command as such in this context, and the characters surrounding the block do not mask the internal syntax errors.
