DIST <data>,CENTERS,CUR+1 / CENTER=<list_of_centers> computes the minimal distance of each observation to the closest of the observations given - by their numbers (indices) - in the CENTER list. The distances are computed by using variables activated by 'A's and the distances are saved as a variable activated by 'D'. The index of the center closest to an observation is saved as a variable activated by 'G'. This special form of DIST is used in the /CLARA sucro. See /CLARA
