Subject:      Is there an implicit POINT=  option in the Ian Whitlock do loop?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

If we have a do loop of the Ian Whitlock fashion:

data _null_;
array tmp (*) _temporary_;
do i=1 by 1 until (end);           /* or (last.x) */
set other;
tmp(i)=var;
end;
run;

        is there an implicit POINT= option in the SET statement?

Something of this nature:

proc sql;
select count(*) into: n
from other
;
quit;

data _null_;
array tmp(*) _temporary_;
do i=1 to &n;
set other point=i;
tmp(i)=var;
end;
output;
stop;
run;
