SAS/AF Software: Class Dictionary |
The Dictionary Class is a data container that can hold items of any type, including numbers, character strings, lists, or objects. You can add, count, or remove items from a dictionary. You can also copy or subset the dictionary, or apply an action to all of its component items.
While there is no concept of position or order within a dictionary, you can search for items using their key values. All items in the dictionary are associated with at least one key. Duplicate keys are not allowed.
