SAS code stops running after submit, nothing in log either

Question

I am writing a SAS program which also uses some macros. However, SAS suddenly stopped running the codes that I submitted. If I select and submit a part of the code, I can see it copied in the log but that's it. No note, error or warning. Neither is the code executed. Doesn't matter if the code is a simple data step without any macro variables. Am I missing anything? What should I check or verify?

Answer 1

This sounds like a classic case of unbalanced quotes within one of your macros. Running the code below should clear it, then you will need to check the code for the error.

*); */; /*’*/ /*”*/; %mend;
