  2. Why is it better to maintain many modular code files instead of one big long code file?

  3. In a dataset that contains 10 different cost variables, what is the main advantage and disadvantage of naming the variables COST1, COST2, and so on up to COST10?

  4. How is declaring formats in SAS different to declaring arrays?
