https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Management/SAS-Datastep-and-Java-object/m-p/64984#M581 This is a general datastep questions and I am not sure which section is goes under.<BR /> As of 9.2 you are able to create a reference to a java class, created by the user, in the datastep.<BR /> I was wondering of any practical uses for this? Will it replace the hash object?<BR /> Has anyone used this succesfully?
