_numeric_ & _character_ are mostly used in:
1. Defining arrays: if an array is defined as _numeric_ that means it expects all values stored in it to be numeric ONLY! And if we define array as _character_ it expects only character values to be stored within it

2. With proc print, if we use these, it prints only numeric or only character variables of the data set!

create macros---you have 365 number of data and you need to merge it throw the macros,,,,,, data file1; input a @@; cards; 1 2 3 4 ; run; data file2; input a @@; cards; 5 6 7 8 ; run; data file3; input a @@; cards; 9 10 11 12 ; run;data file4; input a @@; cards; 13 14 15 16 ; run;
