Faster SAS® Jobs and Fewer Passes Via DATA Step Views Steven First Systems Seminar Consultants Madison, WI 53716 (608) 222-7081 Abstract 5. DATA step views can be combined with other data sources, again appearing as a single SAS dataset. DATA step views have been around for a few years, but Examples would be virtually any merging, very few jobs take advantage of them. There are many concatenation, interleaving, or other joining of situations where DATA step views require less passes, datasets that a SAS job might do. less intermediate work space, less CPU, and less clock time than traditional DATA steps do. The improvement Types of DATA Step Views in certain cases can be significant, and in fact, using views may be the only way to get some jobs to run at 1. Input DATA Step Views all. This paper will examine the pros and cons of using DATA step views and benchmark several different DATA step views that function as input SAS datasets scenarios taken from actual production applications are called input DATA step views. This is the most commonly used of the two types of DATA step views Introduction and is the easiest to understand. This view can be virtually any DATA step that eventually outputs an In release 6.07 DATA step views
