NULLEOF | NONULLEOF

NULLEOF
specifies that a null line signals the end-of-file when the input file is coming from the terminal.

NONULLEOF
specifies that the ENDSAS statement must be used to signal the end of the input file. If a null line is encountered, SAS continues (in interactive mode).

Details

The NULLEOF system option causes SAS to accept a null line as an end-of-file signal in addition to the ENDSAS statement when the input file is assigned to the terminal.

This option is ignored in the SAS windowing environment.
