Recent disabling of ADDRLONG and PEEKLONG in SAS, but supported by Altair Personal SLC
DOES NOT WORK IN LATEST SAS

NOTE: The data step took :
real time : 0.000
cpu time : 0.000
I feel this is a big loss because load and store are fundamental instructions
among the seven that can replicate any language's code.
This also allows sharing storage among applications?
