_N_ gives the record number. You can access any record in
the dataset using _N_ if you know the record number. It is
set as 1 for the first record and incremented for every
subsequent record. It is an automatic variable and is not
visible when you open a dataset. This can also be used to
subset a data. For ex, if you want to access the first 100
records then you can say "if _N_ <= 100".
