The values captured in this data are used to manage reports for the specified study.   They are also used in the generation of the TOC (table of contents).  Some of the variables are administrative (i.e. usrname, datetime) while others are converted into titles, footnotes and SAS macro variables used in analysis and reporting programs.

Note that a libname REPORT has to be defined before the invoking this macro because it will create a dataset named REPORTS in the location of the specified libname.

Footnotes and titles may contain runtime variables which will be converted to proper values during runtime.  For example, a footnote defined as:

Source: program(aelist.sas) date([datetime]) [userid]

contains date and user ID variables which are updated during runtime as shown here:

Source: program(aelist.sas) date(14JUN99:10:03) scott

The runtime variables include the following:
