Hi there. This is more a curiosity that a problem. Most experienced SAS programmers will be familiar with the concept of the Program Data Vector (PDV) and...
I'm attempting to output observations to a SAS dataset on my company's server in SAS Enterprise Guide from within a data _null_ step. Here's the basic idea using a test dataset: data test_data; input y x1 x2; cards; 1 2 3 10 20 30 100 200 300 ; run; data _NULL_; ...

Constructing asuccessful loop is dependent upon grasping SAS programming fundamentals, such as understanding that the SAS data set is created one observation at a time in the program data vector (PDV). In this paper, you will learn how to create loops with various applications and what happens ...
SAS Global Forum 2007 Tutorials Paper 208-2007 How to Think Through the SAS® DATA Step Ian Whitlock, Kennett Square, PA Abstract You are relatively new to SAS and interested in writing SAS code. You have probably written DATA step code; some works, some doesn't, sometimes you know why...
Following is how a data step merge works. 1. Build a pdv of all common variables (imagine an array with one slot per each unique variable across the datasets) 2. SAS looks at the set or merge statement . If set statement and there are multiple datasets it will...

the PDV vector in the log, I should comment it and sorry for that. About the `total = (total < 0)` - I'm using concept of "implicit" array declaration. Please check out this article for details: http//support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings/209-2010.pdf and this: ...
You cannot tell SAS to use a different increment. In your case, since all you variables are in the required sequence and all have the Y_ prefix, you can simply specify instead: array table1 Y_: ; Note that if you have other PDV variables prefixed with Y_, it's n...
