* Specify file names and include macros.                             *

* 1.  Specify the name of the file where the data is stored.         *
*     The name is enclosed in quotes.                                *
*     example: filename in 'orig.dat' ;                              *
*                                                                    *
* 2.  Include the macros with the %INCLUDE (%inc) statement.         *
*     Specify the physical name of the external file where the macro *
*     is stored.  The physical name is enclosed in quotes.           *
*     example: %inc 'pathsas.sas';                                   *
*              %inc 'jackboot.sas';                                  *
*                                                                    *

*     The user only needs to change the information inside the       *
*     quotes on the FILENAME and %INCLUDE statements below.          *
*     The information inside the quotes specifies the name of the    *
*     external file where the data or macros are stored.  It may be  *
*     necessary to specify the entire file name inside the quotes.   *
*     example: %inc 'c:\sasmacro\pathsas.sas';                       *
*                                                                    *

*   Create SAS dataset                                               *
*     The user will need to modify the INPUT statement to specify    *
*     the variable names from their experiment.  If list input is    *
*     used, then missing values should be coded with a "."           *
