The HP4SCORE Procedure

The ID statement lists one or more variables from the input data set to be transferred to the output data set that is specified in the SCORE statement. The ID statement accepts numeric and character variables. By default, high-performance analytical procedures do not include all variables from the input data set in output data sets.

The ID statement is optional. However, when PROC HP4SCORE runs in distributed mode or with concurrent threads, the SCORE statement rearranges the observations. An ID variable is needed to correctly merge the output data with other variables from the input data set.
