SAS provides these five predefined component objects for use in
a DATA step:
hash and hash iterator objects
provides a mechanism
that is similar to the Java Native Interface (JNI) for instantiating
Java classes and accessing fields and methods on the resultant objects.
For more information
about the java object, see Using the Java Object in SAS Language Reference: Concepts.
logger and appender objects
enable you to record
logging events and write these events to the appropriate destination.

see Component Object Reference in SAS Logging: Configuration and Programming Reference.
