Any benefits of using a Keep statment in a Proc Tabulate?

Posted 02-26-2014 06:16 AM (1550 views)

Are there any performance benefits of using a Keep statement in a Proc Tabulate (or Means / Summary / Report)? I am looking to reduce the time taken to summarise the data without using an index on the initial dataset.

Thanks.
