| Interactions: | If the SQLREDUCEPUT= system option is set to DBMS, BASE, or ALL, conditions for both the SQLREDUCEPUTOBS= and SQLREDUCEPUTVALUES= system options must be met for PROC SQL to optimize the PUT function. |
| The SQLREDUCEPUTOBS= system option works only for DBMSs that record the number of observations in a table. If your DBMS does not record the number of observations, but you create row counts on your table, the SQLREDUCEPUTOBS= option will work. | |
| Note: | This option can be restricted by a site administrator. For more information, see “Restricted Options” in Chapter 1 of SAS System Options: Reference. |
