The
EXECUTE statement executes a stored compiled DATA
step program.
Use the DESCRIBE statement with the EXECUTE
statement in the same DATA step to retrieve the source code and execute a
stored compiled DATA step program. If you do not specify either statement,
EXECUTE is assumed. The order in which you use the statements is interchangeable.
The DATA step program executes when it reaches a step boundary. For information
about how to use these statements with the DATA statement, see DATA Statement.
