Problem Note 62650: Character-based dynamic arrays are converted to SAS® arrays when the /NOSYMBOLS option is used with PROC COMPILE
 |  |  |  |  |
When you use character-based dynamic arrays with PROC COMPILE and the /NOSYMBOLS option, they are converted to SAS arrays. The conversion to SAS arrays then slows processing, and performance is affected. No errors are displayed.
Click the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.
After you apply the hot fix, the character-based dynamic arrays are supported.
