SAS A00-260 Exam - Topic 10 Question 83 Discussion

Actual exam question for SAS's A00-260 exam

Question #: 83
Topic #: 10

In SAS Data Integration Studio, which statement is FALSE regarding status handling?

AWhen a job is executed in SAS Data Integration Studio, a return code for each transformation in the job is captured in a macro variable. The return code for the job is set to the least successful transformation in the job. SAS Data Integration Studio enables you to associate a return code condition, such as Successful, with an action, such as Send Email.

BIf status handling has been defined for a transformation or the job, a macro definition (and a call to it) will be added to the generated code to check for the specified condition(s).

COnly one Condition/Action pair can be defined for a single transformation or for a job.

DThe available Condition/Action pairs for transformations and jobs will vary - that is, different
Condition/Action pairs may exist for the SQL Join transformation versus the Table Loader transformation.

D makes sense, different transformations have different conditions.

C seems off, I thought you could have multiple pairs.

I’m a bit confused about the macro definitions. I think they get added if status handling is defined, but I’m not sure how that relates to the false statement.

I feel like I’ve seen something about the available Condition/Action pairs differing between transformations, so I’m leaning towards option C being false.

I think option C is the false statement because I recall being able to define multiple conditions for different actions in practice questions.

I remember that return codes are important for understanding job success, but I'm not entirely sure if multiple Condition/Action pairs can be defined.

The key here is understanding the different Condition/Action pairs available for transformations and jobs. I'll need to think through that carefully.

Haha, imagine if you could only have one Condition/Action pair. That would be like trying to drive with one brake pedal!
