Restrictions and Requirements for Stored Compiled DATA Step Programs


The following restrictions and requirements apply for using stored compiled DATA step programs:

  • Stored compiled DATA step programs are available for DATA step applications only.

  • Stored compiled DATA step program cannot contain global statements. If you do include global statements such as FILENAME, FOOTNOTE, LIBNAME, OPTIONS, and TITLE in your source program, SAS stores the compiled program but not the global statements. SAS does not display a warning message in the SAS log.

  • SAS does not store raw data in the compiled program.

    Operating Environment Information: You cannot move a compiled program to an operating environment that has an incompatible machine architecture. You must, instead, recompile your source code and store your new compiled program.

    You can, however, move your compiled program to a different host machine that has a compatible architecture.
