@Description: description of the macro, what is the reason, etc. etc. The long
    line goes like this. So this is a four chars indent.

@Dependencies:
    assign_libraries.sas
    another_dependency.sas

@Inputs: &DSIN

@Outputs: &DSOUT WORK.STATIC_OUTPUT WORK.DYNAMIC_OUTPUT_: &&MACRO_VARIABLE

@Required parameters:
    DSIN=: input dataset, ex. libname.memname or just memname if in WORK lib.

@Optional parameters:
    DSOUT=: output dataset, if blank, DSOUT=&DSIN..NEWMACRO To be more
        specific how to document, this is a very long sentence. As you can see,
        this is an eight character indentation. Just to make this text look
        nice.
    ANOTHER_PARAM=example: as you can see this parameter has a default value
        set (example)

@Notes: Put any related notices here. No need to have version/history - it is
    kept within git repository. Explain how macro might work etc etc etc
    Don't forget that you can remove anything you don't like in this macro.
