The closest equivalent, about the only candidate, is VECTOR. (See that
entry in the syntax manual.)
Chief weaknesses:
- One dimension only
- The variables in a VECTOR must be contiguous in the file.
Nothing analogous to implicit ARRAYs. You're not supposed to like those
in SAS, either, but I admit I do.
