Set RETURN CODE in Z/OS Mainframe Environment

[ThompsonA]

Normally when my SAS program executes without error, a return code of 00 is returned. I am running my SAS program via JCL in a mainframe batch environment with Z/OS.

Is there a way in the SAS program to set the return code to a different value, say 20. I'd like to do this so that subsequent steps in the JCL could check this return code to see if my program found a certain condition.

Any advise that you may have will be helpful.

Look up the ABORT command. It has an option to specify the return code.
For instance

  abort return 0;
