Will scientific notation for array declaration be supported in version 9?
(or any other numeric notation/expression, for that matter)
Obviously, inquiries as far back as December 29, 1998 never made it into
versions 7, 8.0, 8.1, or 8.2 but we won't give up hope, will we?

<It would be nice if SAS at least supported customary scientific notation.

<array foo(40e6) _temporary_ ;
