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.

[in]access_token_var=(ACCESS_TOKEN) VIYA only. The global macro variable to contain the access token
