Using arrays to store values and use them in proc step

[Xamius32]

I am horrible with arrays, so I know how to basically use them to create or manipulate data, but how would one use them to store all the data from a table and then use the data in a proc step?

So my data:

Venue	4/1/12	4/2/12	4/3/12	4/4/12
A	3	7	1	5
B	3	.	4	9
C	15	3	2	1

And so forth.

I then want to use it in a proc clp to the point where A would be one set of values (one array), B would be another, C would be another and so forth.

I really have no idea how to simply put the data into such  arrays. Seems like all examples are arrays that create data.

The Proc CLP documentation tells me that you have to specify the arrays, if used, within the proc. So you don't have to do anything in a datastep. Go directly to Proc CLP.

Are you going off the SAS/OR(R) 9.3 User's Guide: Constraint Programming 

?
