Legacy "EUVALS" code that calculates the EU aggregates of either RDB or RDB2 indicators in the "old-fashioned" way.

%silc_EUvals(eu, ms, _idb=, _yyyy=, _tab=, _thres=, _grpdim=, _flag=, _not60=,

_rdb=, _ex_data=, force_Nwgh=no);

eu : ISO-code of the aggregate area (e.g., EU28);
ms : list of country(ies) ISO-codes corresponding to (i.e., included in) the eu area;
mode : flag (char) setting the mode of data output; it can be UPDATE (e.g., for primary RDB indicators) or INSERT (for secondary RDB2 indicators);
_yyyy : year of interest;
_tab : name of the input indicator (and the corresponding table as well);
_thres : threshold (in range [0,1]) used to compare ratio of available population over the total area population;
_grpdim : list of dimension used by the indicator _tab;
_flag : boolean flag (0/1) for...?
_rdb: name of the library where the indicator table _tab is located, e.g. _rdb=rdb with primary indicators or _rdb=WORK with secondary indicators;
_ccwgh60: name of the file storing countries' population;
_not60 : boolean flag (0/1) used to force the aggregate calculation;
_ex_data: name of the library where the file _ccwgh60 with countries' population is stored;
force_Nwgh : additional boolean flag (yes/no) set when an additional variable nwgh (representing the weighted sample) is present in the output dataset; note that this option is not foreseen in the original EUvals implementation; default: force_Nwgh=no.

In addition to the macro defined above, this file provides additional macros/scripts so as to be compatible with the current different uses of the so-called "EUvals" programs in EU-SILC production. Actually, the aggregate estimation is run at the "inclusion" of this file, that is whenever the following command is used inside a SAS program:
%include "<path_to_this_file>/silc_euvals.sas"
The operation performed after the inclusion depends however on the type of indicator to be calculated, i.e. on whether:
- indicators in the so-called RDB2 database are processed: an %_EUVALS macro is launched so that aggregates are actually calculated,
- indicators in the so-called RDB database are processed: NOTHING happens (exit the program),
- the program is used together with the PING library: NOTHING happens either (exit the program).
In the two latter cases, the inclusion shall therfore be understood as a strict inclusion, with no actual operation running.
The macro %silc_EUvals does not require the use of PING library.
The "weird" naming of this macro's parameters derives from the global parameters used in legacy %EUvals program.
