Fetches all groups or the groups for a particular member. More...

Detailed Description

When building applications that run on multiple flavours of SAS, it is convenient to use a single macro (like this one) to fetch the groups regardless of the flavour of SAS being used

The alternative would be to compile a generic macro in target-specific folders (SASVIYA, SAS9 and SASJS). This avoids compiling unnecessary macros at the expense of a more complex sasjsconfig.json setup.
