The VAR statement specifies the variables to be clustered. If you do not specify the VAR statement and do not specify TYPE=SSCP, all numeric variables not listed in other statements (except the SEED statement) are processed. The default VAR variable list does not include the variable INTERCEPT if the DATA= data set is TYPE=SSCP. If the variable INTERCEPT is explicitly specified in the VAR statement with a TYPE=SSCP data set, the NOINT option is enabled.
