Data Driven Programming maximizes procedural efficiency and lightens the workload of routine processing. This paper presents techniques for gathering the parameters such as filenames and procedure results that can be used in subsequent routines and macro programming. Techniques include utilizing the SYSEXEC, OUTPUT=, and ODS OUTPUT statements. Examples of these coding techniques include how to read an MS Windows folder's filenames into a SAS dataset, how to extract Proc results into datasets, and how to make SAS write programs based on these results.
