At compile time it creates input buffer,program data vector
and discription portion.
Input buffer is the temporary storage of memory with
variable length.
Pdv is storages lists of system defined var's and user
defined var's.
Discription portion contains details like when data set is
created, date , time , no of var's and no of obs etc.
