Identify statements whose placement in the DATA step is
critical?
Answer Posted / pratik singh jageera
The placement of drop keep and rename statement does not affect its execution order.The order is fixed in the order
DROP-KEEP-RENAME.Even if you put a rename statement(rename old_var=new_var;) before a drop statement.The drop statement will look for old_var as it is executed prior to rename statement.
Length can be the answer as its placement is very important.Changing the length value of a variable after the set statement will not carry out the necessary change.It has to be done before set statement.
