WOW, FCMP is comming

In the past, we have to use macro or format trick for user defined function.
The macro implementation is lengthy and error-prone.
Furthermore, due to inefficiency of communication between macro facility and others, the performance is bad.

With the release of SAS V92, we can take advantage of PROC FCMP.
I believe many SAS professionals have been expecting this for a long time.

It is definitely the most useful upgrade in BASE for SAS 9.2.
