Apply rules from Proc cluster to the new distance dataset

Hi,

I need to perform hierarchical clustering on a dataset that contains both numeric and categorical variables and then apply the obtained rules to a new dataset

step 1: I create a dgower distance data

proc distance data=ABT_hcluster method=dgower out=gower_distance;
var nominal( categorical variables /std=std) interval(numeric variables) ;
id my_ids;
run;

step 2: I perform hierarchical clustering

proc cluster data=gower_distance method=Ward outtree=Tree ccc pseudo PLOTS=ALL;
id my_ids;
run;

step 3: Draw dendrogram, place observation to 4 clusters.

axis1 order=(0 to 1 by 0.1)

proc tree data=Tree ncl=4 out=tree_out4 haxis=axis1;
height _rsq_;
id KVHX;

run;

step 4:

Now I need to apply rules of dendrogram and place new observations into clusters with the rules found above. How do do it? I could not find any outmodel, code or rules statement for proc cluster.

Thank you
