SAS Component Language: Reference

Introduction

SCL supports data structures and functions for manipulating data in SCL lists. SCL lists, like arrays, are ordered collections of data. However, lists are more flexible than arrays in many ways. For example, SCL lists are dynamic. Therefore, a program can create a list only when and if it is needed. Lists grow and shrink to accommodate the number of items or the size of items that you assign to them. Also, an SCL list can contain items of differing data types.

SCL Elements by Category lists the SCL list functions. Each function and the tasks it can perform are described in SAS Component Language Dictionary.
