Heavenly Hash Object Programming in SAS®, Michael Mancini, Foxwoods Resort Casino
Since the release of SAS 9 it has been possible to create Hash and Java objects within the data step.
This presentation will discuss Hash objects.
Hash objects are associative arrays constructed in memory. Because of the way in which they are constructed and because they reside in memory, tremendous performance improvements can be achieved using Hash objects. Hash objects are processed using methods that are referenced using dot(.) notation. Therefore, the syntax for creating and using Hash objects is different than traditional data step programming.
This presentation will discuss the creation of Hash objects, basic Hash object syntax, and how to associate Hash objects with traditional data step variables, data sets and data step processing.
