Hi SAS-Lers,

I am submitting this question for a co-worker of mine.

Suppose you have a dataset that has 10,000 observations and three
variable (VarA, VarB and VarC).  Suppose that you want to create a new
dataset with a single variable that appends VarB and then VarC to
VarA.  This new dataset would have 30,000 observations.  Is there a
way to use array processing to accomplish this task?  My co-worker has
made several attempts at using arrays, but has not been successful.

Of course, this can be done with several data steps, but my co-worker
is trying to find a more efficient solution using arrays.
