Details
If one of the SAS files
in SAS-file does not exist
in the procedure input library, PROC DATASETS stops processing the
RUN group containing the SAVE statement and issues an error message.
To override this behavior, specify the NOWARN option in the PROC DATASETS
statement.
When the SAVE statement
deletes SAS data sets, it also deletes any indexes associated with
those data sets. (If the SAS data set that is to be deleted has an
ALTER= password assigned to it, the ALTER= password must be specified
in order to delete the SAS data set.)
