NETWORK Procedure

CORE Statement

CORE < option >;

The CORE statement invokes an algorithm that finds the core decomposition of the input graph. For more information about core decomposition, see the section Core Decomposition.

You can specify the following option:

MAXTIME=number: specifies the maximum amount of time to spend calculating the core decomposition. The type of time (either CPU time or real time) is determined by the value of the TIMETYPE= option in the PROC NETWORK statement. The default is the largest number that can be represented by a double.
