The SAS Hash Object in Action
Overview In SAS Version 9.1, the hash table - the very first object introduced via the DATA Step Component Interface in Version 9.0 - has finally become robust and syntactically stable. The philosophy and application style of the hash objects is quite different from any other structure ever used in the DATA step before. The most notable departure from the tradition is their run-time nature. Hash objects are instantiated, deleted, allocate memory, and get updated all at the run-time. Intuitively, it is clear that such traits should make for very inventive and flexible programming unseen in the DATA step of yore. Still better, Version 9.2 has added new methods, attributes, and parameters.
