Relative row number: the relative position of the row within the table (ignoring any deleted rows, and taking into account any WHERE clause or index key).
Absolute row number: The actual physical location of the row within the table (taking into account deleted rows and ignoring any WHERE clause or index key). Absolute row number is not supported by all SAS data files.
