SUGI 24: Programming Idioms Using the SET Statement - ABSTRACT Programming Idioms Using the SET Statement Jack E. Fuller, Trilogy Consulting Corporation, Kalamazoo, MI While virtually every programmer of base SAS® uses the SET statement, surprisingly few programmers know what it actually does. Even fewer programmers use the full range of its potential at both compile and execution times. This paper provides both a basic introduction to the SET statement and a series of programming idioms for solving common and not so common problems using the SET statement. INTRODUCTION At first glance, the SET statement may appear to be a simplistic programming statement and quite unworthy of fur ther analysis. However, I have found in the course of my career that many SAS programmers do not understand exactly what this command does.

Additionally, many programmers do not possess within their repertoire a set of programming idioms that use the SET statement for solving recurring problems. A programming idiom “describe[s] how to solve implementation-specific problems in a programming language” (see Buschmann, et. This paper explores the SET statement by providing idioms that can be used in the course of problem solving: first, it provides an introduction to the basic SET statement; second, it provides a set of basic idioms for using the features of the SETstatement; third, it provides several more advanced idioms for using the SET statement to solve specific problems.

THE SET STATMENT Understanding the Program Data Vector (PDV) The key to understanding how the SET statement works is to first understand what the PDV is and how it works. While a complete examination of the PDV is beyond the scope of this paper, an excellent primer can be found in 'The SAS System Supervisor -- A Version 6 Update' by Henderson, et al. Which contains the following definition of the PDV: The Logical Program Data Vector (PDV) is a set of buffers that includes all variables referenced ei ther explicitly or implicitly in the DATA step. It is created at compile time, then used at execution time as the location where the working values of variables are stored as they are processed by the DATA step program. Dev21 Untuk Ps2 To Usb.
