Creating and Executing Stored Compiled DATA Step Programs : Uses for Stored Compiled DATA Step Programs
The primary use of stored compiled DATA step programs is for executing
production jobs. The advantage of using these DATA step programs is that you
can execute them as needed without investing the resources required for repeated
compilation. The savings are especially significant if the DATA step contains
many statements. If you install a new version of SAS, you do not need to recompile
your source code.
