this is my biggest complaint about SAS--everything is either a table or text.
most procs use tables as both input and output, and you better hope the tables have the correct columns.
you want a loop? you either get an implicit loop over rows in a table, write something using syscalls on each row in a table, or you're writing macros (all text).
