Note: This solves some shortcomings of the slc proc r and proc python.
1 proc r and proc python cannot be called from a macro.
2 proc r and proc python cannot resolve macro variables.
3 Unfortunately, this makes it impossible to call a macro that contains 'proc r'
and create an SLC dataset.
You can output an R dataframe to a feather file and use hard coded 'proc r'
inputs and outputs to create an slc dataset. You can't even resolve
macro variables in the hardcoded 'proc r'. You can use a datastep with 'call execute' to create
'proc r code' with inputs and outputs, but this is really a kludge.
4 It seems that dosubl is faster in the SLC than SAS?
