| Stored Compiled DATA Step Programs |
A stored compiled DATA step program is a SAS file that
contains a
DATA step program that has been compiled and then stored in a SAS library.
You can execute stored compiled programs as needed, without having to recompile
them. Stored compiled DATA step programs are of member type PROGRAM.
Note: Stored compiled programs are available for DATA step
applications only. Your stored programs can contain all SAS language elements
except global statements. If you do include global statements in your source
program, SAS stores the compiled program but not the global statements, and
does not display a warning message in the SAS log. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/63294/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)
