Programming Statements

Overview

As a programming language, the Interactive Matrix Language has many features that enable you to control the path of execution through the statements. The control statements in IML function in a way that is similar to the corresponding statements in the SAS DATA step. This chapter presents the following control features:

  • IF-THEN/ELSE statements
  • DO groups
  • iterative execution
  • jumping (nonconsecutive execution)
  • module definition and execution
  • stopping execution
