17678 - Cluster analysis failing with Proc DQMATCH against large datasets

Problem Note 17678: Cluster analysis failing with Proc DQMATCH against large datasets

The DQMATCH procedure cannot provide cluster analysis for data sets featuring long record lengths in combination with a large number of records.

The code generates an offset into a utility file by multiplying two integers together. If the product is greater than 2 GB the integer overflows, generating a negative number for the file offset. Offsets should always be positive.
