Title: The Use of PROC FCMP to Manage Your Functions
Abstract: SAS programming includes many built-in functions that can be programmed within the DATA Step to execute specific tasks. However, to run certain calculations and tasks that are not included in the SAS ® programming procedures, SAS users may choose to write their own user defined functions. PROC FCMP allows programmers to store their written functions in a work library that can then be used in subsequent code similar to how the built-in functions in SAS are used. This procedure provides a streamlined and efficient way of managing complex and tedious codes. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how we can utilize Proc FCMP to store and run a user defined function in the DATA Step.
