The FACTOR Procedure

ODS Table Names

PROC FACTOR assigns a name to each table it creates. You can use these names to reference the table when using the Output Delivery System (ODS) to select tables and create output data sets. These names are listed in the Table 35.3. For more information about ODS, see Chapter 20: Using the Output Delivery System.
