Re: Can a SAS FCmp Array contain TEXT values?

I am posting my findings here, for reference. Re FCMP "read_array" (that allows for multiple columns, read from an entire dataset) --- "Currently, Read_Array() only supports NUMERIC arrays." And, FCMP [multi-dimenstional or single] arrays are exactly like DATA step arrays... all elements have to have the same type. Here is an example of declaring a Character Array in PROC FCMP. proc fcmp; array y[2] $ / nosymbols; y[1] = 'foo'; y[2] = 'bar'; put y=; run; Thanks. Message was edited by: ynot ... View more

All the examples I've seen for the SAS (9.2) Function Compiler (fcmp) just have numbers, and I get returned error messages that my 'problem' column must be Numeric when I try to run the fcmp "read_array" code. So, if I 'can' use text, what is the syntax for allowing it? (I know in non-fcmp arrays, I can add a $ to say that all the columns are text, so is there a similar way to do that in fcmp arrays, either "all the columns" or preferably mixed so that I can have 1 column as Text and a few other columns as Numeric). I can post my simple test code, if needed. ... View more
