Answer / ganesh
First step of data step intially it check for compalition
errors and once it is through then input buffer is created
it is the temporary storage memory and pdv is the area of
memory where sas buits a dataset,one obeservation at a time
and after that it creates a discriptive portion.

Compilation:
Turs code to machine code
Checks for syntax errors
Creates an area of memory called the input buffer(if
reading from a raw data file)
Creates an area of memory called the PDV
Creates the descripto portion.
