Macro Variables:
infile is the name of the dataset being used for calculation.

/*probe_id is the column that contains the unique identifiers   */
/*for each probe.                                               */

/*pvalue is the name of the variable that contains the p-values.*/

/*infile is the name of the dataset being used for calculation. */

/*factor1, factor2, and factor are the variables for the class  */
/*statements in proc means.                                     */

/*signal is the name of the signal intensity variable.          */

/*neg_control is the name of the column which denotes the       */
/*negative controls.                                            */

/*neg_con_ind is the entry in the neg_con column which          */
/*indicates that a probe is a negative control.  Please note    */
/*that this program requires a numeric value for neg_con_ind.   */

/*trt is the name of the treatment variable.                    */

/*trt1,...,trt10 are the individual trt, comment                */

/*prefix is the optional prefix to data set names and variable, */
/*particularly if the data is being analyzed multiple times.    */

/*groups from test (see above).                                 */

/*effect1,...,effect5 are the individual effects that p-values  */
/*are to be calculated on found in effect_col.                  */
