The SASEFAME interface enables you to access and process financial and economic time series data that resides in a FAME database. Linux and Compaq Tru64 UNIX have been added to the supported hosts. You can now use the SAS windowing environment to view FAME data and use the SAS viewtable commands to navigate your FAME data base. You can select the time span of data by specifying a range of dates in the RANGE= option. A detailed list of features follows.
You can see the available data sets in the SAS LIBNAME window of the SAS windowing environment by selecting the SASEFAME libref in the LIBNAME window that you have previously used in your libname statement. You can view your SAS output observations by double-clicking on the desired output data set libref in the libname window of the SAS windowing environment. You can use Viewtable on the SAS command line to view any of your SASEFAME tables, views, or librefs both for input and output data sets.
SASEFAME in SAS 9.1 supports Windows, Solaris, AIX, Linux, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, and HP-UX hosts.
You can limit the time span of time series data by specifying a begin and end date range in the SASEFAME RANGE= option. See Limiting the Time Range of Data.
