| SAS/AF Catalog Entry Types |
You can
use
the BUILD procedure in SAS/AF software
to create and edit the following types of catalog entries. Other types of
entries (for example, SLIST entries containing SCL lists or PMENU entries
containing menu definitions) can appear in the catalog along with these entry
types, but you cannot edit other types with the BUILD procedure.
