five predefined component objects for use in a DATA step:

Java object
provides
a mechanism that is similar to the Java Native Interface (JNI) for
instantiating Java classes and accessing fields and methods on the
resultant objects.
For more information about the Java object, see Using the Java Object in SAS Language Reference: Concepts .
logger and appender objects
enable
you to record logging events and write these events to the appropriate
