Hello,

They are symbolic parameters in the SAS PROCedure on your system.

If you look at the complete PROC, you will see where they are used. If you don't understand what you see in the PROC, post the PROC here and we will be able to help.

LOUT is a symbolic in the OP's PROC.

Without seeing the PROC it could mean anything. See the reply by Dick.
