Programming Methods That Prevent Compilation

Program lines that include ampersand substitution are not compiled. Any syntax errors are not caught until the program is run. A program whose other lines compiled correctly is considered to be a compiled program.

When your program defines an object and then uses the object in the program, the program cannot be compiled. COMPILE treats the reference to the object as a misspelling because the object does not yet exist in the analytic workspace.
