Answer Posted / pratik singh jageera
There are hell lot of differences between a Compiler and an Interpreter.But the two which I would take to prove that SAS actually COMPILES and is not Interpreted are:
1)A Compiler takes entire program as input while an interpreter takes single instruction as input.
SAS is a compiler as it does not read and execute one statement at a time. It will either wait for a RUN, QUIT, next DATA or PROC statement before executing its statements.
2)In compiler errors are displayed after entire program is checked.While in interpreter it is displayed for every instruction interpreted.
In SAS all errors are displayed after checking the particular data/proc step.
