Apart from doing numerous tasks during the compilation phase..
SAS also processes statements which are limited to compile time.These statements provide information to the compiler as to how the things will be set up in the PDV.they include
drop keep rename retain array by where attrib length format label.it also sets up automatic variables:
_N_ _ERROR_ IN= END= POINT= FIRST. LAST.
