The TEXTMINE Procedure

The OUTCONFIG= Data Table

The OUTCONFIG= option in the PARSE statement specifies a SAS data table to contain the configuration that PROC TEXTMINE uses in the current run. The primary purpose of this data table is to relay the configuration information from the TEXTMINE procedure to the TMSCORE procedure so that the TMSCORE procedure can use options that are consistent with the TEXTMINE procedure during scoring.

Table 9 shows the configuration information that is contained in this data table.
