data _null_;
array num0{*} _numeric_;
putlog "Initial numeric array:";
do i=1 to dim(num0);
putlog i= num0[i]=;
end;
a = 1;

array num1{*} _numeric_;
putlog "First numeric array:";

Result:
Initial numeric array:
First numeric array:
i=1 i=1
i=2 a=1
i=3 b=2
Second numeric array:
i=1 i=1
i=2 a=1
i=3 b=2
i=4 c=3

Does keywords _NUMERIC_/_CHARACTER_ represent all numeric/character variables?
Array is my favorite tool. With reserved keywords _NUMERIC_/_CHARACTER_, it can handle dynamic variables list.
However, they may not represent all numeric/character variables. When it is in different position of DATA step, it will have different variables list.
The codes below shows that array with _NUMERIC_/_CHARACTER_ represents only pre-defined variables. The post-defined variables will not be included anyway.
