**SAS Packages Framework**, ver. `20221022`
In the `%generatePackage()` macro additional quality checks for files of EXEC and CLEAN types were added.
Each EXEC file should have a CLEAN file counterpart and vice versa.
- If the number of EXECs and CLEANs differs but both are positive macro issues a Warning.
- If EXECs are positive but CLEANs are zero (or other way around) macro issues an Error!
Documentation updated.
