The following restrictions and requirements apply for
using stored compiled DATA step programs:
-
Stored compiled DATA step programs
are available for DATA step applications only.
-
Stored compiled DATA step program
cannot contain global statements. If you do include global statements
such as FILENAME, FOOTNOTE, LIBNAME, OPTIONS, and TITLE in your source

SAS does not store raw data in
the compiled program.
Operating Environment Information: You
cannot move a compiled program to an operating environment that has
an incompatible computer architecture. You must, instead, recompile
your source code and store your new compiled program.
You can, however, move
your compiled program to a different host computer that has a compatible
architecture.
