Segments that do not need shaving are set aside.
Calculate new segments.

Program inputs

&REFFILE. (Dataset containing the periods that claims must overlap.)
&TOSHAVEFILE. (Dataset containing the claims that must overlap the reference period.)

Program outputs

&OUTFILE. (Dataset containing the shaved claims.)

                REFEND=DenomEnrEndDt,  
                ID=EligEpisode, 
                TOSHAVEFILE=_UneligFupWash,
                TOSHAVESTART=UneligStart,
                TOSHAVEEND=UneligEnd,
                OUTFILE=worktemp._denom&Group.);
