SIGHUP Error in SAS code

I seem to be having problems with a large SAS data file.
Has anyone had this problem before?
Sometimes the following error shows up and sometimes it doesn't .
 
ERROR: User asked for termination
ERROR:  System is Terminating Due to Hang Up Signal (SIGHUP)


What is the way of fixing SIGHUP error?

P.S.  some operating systems like Solaris let you issue nohup after the fact for an already running program.

You might want to look here for some scripts ...

Perfect!! Thank you very much!
I am not sure exactly but I think the error was appearing because I was testing SAS program with a large dataset which was running for few hours while my computer logged me off a few times. It looks like everything is fine now!
That was it, if your computer logs you off, all programs you started will die unless you use the nohup.
