Arrays are no technological advancement compared to macros and they have coexisted for several decades now. It is purely a matter of how different techniques fit into data structures you are working with. Macros have several advantages while working with time-series data. I have only presented a watered down version of the data I have and while it may seem like arrays are optimal in this case it doesn't mean you completely understand the data I am working with and are able to dish out advises that are universal in nature.

I haven't experimented with PROC PANEL (and on a quick glance, the support documentation doesn't help me) but you may want to check whether it's using "effect coding". I remember being very confused by some other modelling PROCs until I found out about effect coding, which I'd never heard of before. Google should be able to find you a good explanation of the concept.
