+  @file
+  @brief Performs a wrapped \%include
+  @details This macro wrapper is necessary if you need your included code to
+  know that it is being \%included.
+
+  If you are using %include in a regular program, you could make use of the
+  following macro variables:
+
+  @li SYSINCLUDEFILEDEVICE
+  @li SYSINCLUDEFILEDIR
+  @li SYSINCLUDEFILEFILEREF
+  @li SYSINCLUDEFILENAME
+
+  However these variables are NOT available inside a macro, as documented here:
+https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/mcrolref/n1j5tcc0n2xczyn1kg1o0606gsv9.htm
+
+  This macro can be used in place of the %include statement, and will insert
+  the following (equivalent) global variables:
+
+  @li _SYSINCLUDEFILEDEVICE
+  @li _SYSINCLUDEFILEDIR
+  @li _SYSINCLUDEFILEFILEREF
+  @li _SYSINCLUDEFILENAME
+
+  These can be used whenever testing _within a macro_.  Outside of the macro,
+  the regular automatic variables will still be available (thanks to a
+  concatenated file list in the include statement).
+
+  Example usage:
+
+      filename example temp;
+      data _null_;
+        file example;
+        put '%macro test();';
+        put '%put &=_SYSINCLUDEFILEFILEREF;';
+        put '%put &=SYSINCLUDEFILEFILEREF;';
+        put '%mend; %test()';
+        put '%put &=SYSINCLUDEFILEFILEREF;';
+      run;
+      %mp_include(example)
+
+  @param [in] fileref The fileref of the file to be included. Must be provided.
+  @param [in] prefix= (_) The prefix to apply to the global variables.
+  @param [in] opts= (SOURCE2) The options to apply to the %inc statement
+  @param [in] errds= (work.mp_abort_errds) There is no clean way to end a
+    process within a %include called within a macro.  Furthermore, there is no
+    way to test if a macro is called within a %include.  To handle this
+    particular scenario, the %mp_abort() macro will test for the existence of
+    the `_SYSINCLUDEFILEDEVICE` variable and return the outputs (msg,mac) inside
+    this dataset.
+    It will then run an abort cancel FILE to stop the include running, and pass
+    the dataset back.
+    NOTE - it is NOT possible to read this dataset as part of _this_ macro -
+    when running abort cancel FILE, ALL macros are closed, so instead it is
+    necessary to invoke "%mp_abort(mode=INCLUDE)" OUTSIDE of any macro wrappers.

+/**
+  @file
+  @brief Performs a wrapped \%include
+  @details This macro wrapper is necessary if you need your included code to
+  know that it is being \%included.
+
+  If you are using %include in a regular program, you could make use of the
+  following macro variables:
+
+  @li SYSINCLUDEFILEDEVICE
+  @li SYSINCLUDEFILEDIR
+  @li SYSINCLUDEFILEFILEREF
+  @li SYSINCLUDEFILENAME
+
+  However these variables are NOT available inside a macro, as documented here:
+https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/mcrolref/n1j5tcc0n2xczyn1kg1o0606gsv9.htm
+
+  This macro can be used in place of the %include statement, and will insert
+  the following (equivalent) global variables:
+
+  @li _SYSINCLUDEFILEDEVICE
+  @li _SYSINCLUDEFILEDIR
+  @li _SYSINCLUDEFILEFILEREF
+  @li _SYSINCLUDEFILENAME
+
+  These can be used whenever testing _within a macro_.  Outside of the macro,
+  the regular automatic variables will still be available (thanks to a
+  concatenated file list in the include statement).
+
+  Example usage:
+
+      filename example temp;
+      data _null_;
+        file example;
+        put '%macro test();';
+        put '%put &=_SYSINCLUDEFILEFILEREF;';
+        put '%put &=SYSINCLUDEFILEFILEREF;';
+        put '%mend; %test()';
+        put '%put &=SYSINCLUDEFILEFILEREF;';
+      run;
+      %mp_include(example)
+
+  @param [in] fileref The fileref of the file to be included. Must be provided.
+  @param [in] prefix= (_) The prefix to apply to the global variables.
+  @param [in] opts= (SOURCE2) The options to apply to the %inc statement
+  @param [in] errds= (work.mp_abort_errds) There is no clean way to end a
+    process within a %include called within a macro.  Furthermore, there is no
+    way to test if a macro is called within a %include.  To handle this
+    particular scenario, the %mp_abort() macro will test for the existence of
+    the `_SYSINCLUDEFILEDEVICE` variable and return the outputs (msg,mac) inside
+    this dataset.
+    It will then run an abort cancel FILE to stop the include running, and pass
+    the dataset back.
+    NOTE - it is NOT possible to read this dataset as part of _this_ macro -
+    when running abort cancel FILE, ALL macros are closed, so instead it is
+    necessary to invoke "%mp_abort(mode=INCLUDE)" OUTSIDE of any macro wrappers.
