How do I create an Identifying Flag which will tell me using which rule combination it is creating the ClusterId's?

 

Using following code I'm creating the Match Codes:

data MC_tbl;
set sample_data;
A_MC85=dqmatch(Name,'Name',85);
B_MC80=dqmatch(Address,'Address',85);
C_MC80=dqmatch(Company,'Company',80);
run;


while using following code I'm doing the clustering process:
proc dqmatch data=Work.MC_tbl out=Work.Cluster cluster=Clusterid ;

criteria condition=1 var=A_MC85 exact;
criteria condition=1 var=B_MC80 exact;

criteria condition=2 var=A_MC85 exact;
criteria condition=2 var=C_MC80 exact;
quit;

Are you looking for the MATCHCODE=matchvariablename on the Proc statement?

No, I just want to add an flag variable so that it will tell me that this record passing this rule combination to create the clusterID for further analysis.
