SAS Component Language: Reference

Introduction

SCL supports two types of arrays: static and dynamic. The size of a static array is set when you declare the array and cannot be changed at runtime. With dynamic arrays, you do not specify a size when you declare the array, but you can use any one of several different SCL functions to define the size of the array. With a dynamic array, you can create an array of a specfied size and resize the array as needed in your program.

The differences between ARRAY statement execution in SCL and ARRAY statement execution in the DATA step are described in Using Other SAS Software Products.
