SAS Component Language: Reference |
SCL lists are maintained entirely in memory. Keep this in mind as you develop your applications. If your data is more appropriately maintained in a SAS table, you will probably want to design your application in that manner instead of trying to read the entire SAS table into a list. However, if you know your SAS table will not contain a large number of rows and many columns, and if you do not need to maintain data sharing, then you may find it convenient to read the SAS table into a list. That is, you can use SCL lists for data that you would have liked to put into an array but could not because of the restrictions imposed by arrays.
