The output data set
OUT_DB3 includes the variables MATCH_CD and CLUSTERGRP. The MATCH_CD
variable contains the match code that represents both the customer
name and address. Because the default argument DELIMITER was used,
the resulting match code contains two match code components (one from
each CRITERIA statement) that are separated by an exclamation point.
The CLUSTERGRP variable
contains values that indicate that six of the values are grouped in
one cluster and that the other two are grouped in another. The clustering
is based on the values of the MATCH_CD variable. This example shows
that, with a minimal sensitivity level of 50, the following values
match and form a cluster.

A higher sensitivity level would not cluster
these observations.
Note: This example is available
in the SAS Sample Library under the name DQMCMIN.
