The OUTSUM= data set summarizes the similarity measures between each INPUT and TARGET statement variable. The form of the OUTSUM= data set depends on the SORTNAMES and ORDER= option. If the SORTNAMES option is specified, each variable (INPUT or TARGET) is analyzed in ascending order. The OUTSUM= data set contains the variables specified in the BY statement in addition to the variables listed below.

For ORDER=INPUTTARGET and ORDER=TARGETINPUT, the OUTSUM= data set has the following form:

_INPUT_

input variable name

_TARGET_

target variable name

_STATUS_

status flag that indicates whether the requested analyses were successful

_TIMEID_

time ID values

_SIM_

similarity measure summary

The OUTSUM= data set is ordered by the variables _INPUT_, then _TARGET_ when ORDER=INPUTTARGET. The OUTSUM= data set is ordered by the variables _TARGET_, then _INPUT_ when ORDER=TARGETINPUT.

For ORDER=INPUT, the OUTSUM= data set has the following form:

_INPUT_

input variable name

_STATUS_

status flag that indicates whether the requested analyses were successful

target-names

similarity measure summary that is associated with each TARGET statement variable name

The OUTSUM= data set is ordered by the variable _INPUT_.

For ORDER=TARGET, the OUTSUM= data set has the following form:

_TARGET_

target variable name

_STATUS_

status flag that indicates whether the requested analyses were successful

input-names

similarity measure summary that is associated with each INPUT statement variable name

The OUTSUM= data set is ordered by the variable _TARGET_.
