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. However, SAS does not store the global statements,
and it does not display a warning message in the SAS log.
