At compile time when a SAS data set is read, what items are
created?

Answer Posted / vemula

compilation time 3 items were create
1.input buffer

during compilations first it checks the syntax
then it assigns the datatype and informat
then it translates the sas code to standard machine code

1.input buffer: It is a logical area where sas reads each
record at a time when input statement is executed.

SAS builds sas dataset one record at atime

dataset attributes and variable attributes
