Data Sets

Data Sets are a type of Datasheet that has limited structure, unlike [Step Sequences] a Data Set's column headings are not fixed except for the first (ID) column.

The following table is an example of a Data Set

ID Col1 Col2 ..... ColN
Data0001 aaa bbb
Data0002 ccc ddd
Data0003 020 013
Data0004 xyz abc
Data0005 123 098
Data0006 456 654

If a Data Step with the ID Data0002 is called in a Step Sequence the variables will be created or overwritten with the values as follows:

ID = Data0002
Col1 = ccc
Col2 = ddd
