It should be possible to run assertions in data steps. This could be done with PROC FCMP or maybe also with macro programs (Andreas Menrath).

    It should be possible to use PROC FCMP in any test scenario. Where else should it be used?

    The idea was to create a generic ASSERT-Function or SubRoutine with Proc FCMP which can interact with SASUnit.

    That ASSERT function could verify any valid SAS expression and fail a unit test if the expression resolves to false.

    example for usage:

    data null;

    x = \<my datalogic to test>;

    assert(x = 42);

    /* if (x=42) resolves to true then the test is passed else failed */

    run;
