SAS: conditional end of execution of code

This code will be part of process in SAS data Integration Studio.

I want to achieve something like:

%macro conditional_start();

%let check_condition = 0;

%if check_condition eq 0 %then %do;

    %send_email_that_condition_has_been_met(); /* this I have made */

    /*Below run some kind of built-in macro probably, to stop execution of the whole code below */


%end;

%mend;

/*More macros end code I don't want to execute*/

I cannot pack everything below in big "if" statement because they are built in blocks.

Is it possible?

Thanks in advance!!

Have you tried to put your code into "precode" (leave macro open) and "postcode" (rest of the macro) sections of your job's properties? For example:

precode:

%macro the_whole_job();

postcode:

%mend the_whole_job;

%macro conditional_start();
    %let check_condition = 0;
    %if check_condition eq 0 %then %do;
         %send_email_that_condition_has_been_met(); /* this You have made */
         /*do some kind of built-in macro meaning failure, not executing the whole code above*/
    %end;
    %else %do;
         %the_whole_job;
    %end; 
%mend;
