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
