Data Clustering has the ability to read data from either
CA MICS files or external SAS files.  The Alternate Input
File screen allows you to specify that the input data for
Data Clustering is a SAS file or files, and input the SAS
data set name and up to five SAS files to use as input to the
analysis.  Note that the SAS data must already be created.
