Genericity auf der PhUSE Brighton 2011
- New Metadata Concepts Applied to SAS Macro Programming
- Genericity
WOLF-DIETER BATZ, Phenix-MTK GmbH |
Generic Programming is a coding technique that avoids or totally eliminates the use of explicit (hardcoded) information in the source code of a program. Instead, the program is equipped with some "search algorithm" or intelligence to make it find the required information itself from the runtime environment. The presentation will shortly introduce the ideas behind generic programming and then show or demonstrate live an application using these concepts. Special emphasis will be made to an implicit metadata structure referred to as RSDS (Report Specific Data Structure), which is highly efficient in reducing the number of parameters to be passed for a macro call. |
