SASEHAVR Engine

The SASEHAVR interface engine is a seamless interface between Haver and SAS data processing that enables SAS users to read economic and financial time series data that reside in a Haver Analytics DLX (Data Link Express) database. The following enhancements have been made to the SASEHAVR access engine for Haver Analytics databases:

• The AGGMODE= option enables you to specify a STRICT or RELAXED aggregation method. AGGMODE=RELAXED is the default setting. Aggregation is supported only from a more frequent time interval to a less frequent time interval, such as from weekly to monthly. The SAS log reports the status of AGGMODE.

• The SHORT= option enables you to specify the list of Haver short sources to be included in the output SAS data set. This list is comma-delimited and must be surrounded by quotation marks "".

• The DROPSHORT= option enables you to specify the list of Haver short sources to be excluded from the output SAS data set. This list is comma-delimited and must be surrounded by quotation marks "".

• The LONG= option enables you to specify the list of Haver long sources to be included in the output SAS data set. This list is comma-delimited and must be surrounded by quotation marks "".

• The DROPLONG= option enables you to specify the list of Haver long sources to be excluded from the output SAS data set. This list is comma-delimited and must be surrounded by quotation marks "".

• The GEOG1= option enables you to specify the list of Haver geography1 codes to be included in the output SAS data set. This list is comma-delimited and must be surrounded by quotation marks "".

• The DROPGEOG1= option enables you to specify the list of Haver geography1 codes to be excluded from the output SAS data set. This list is comma-delimited and must be surrounded by quotation marks "".

• The GEOG2= option enables you to specify the list of Haver geography2 codes to be included in the output SAS data set. This list is comma-delimited and must be surrounded by quotation marks "".

• The DROPGEOG2= option enables you to specify the list of Haver geography2 codes to be excluded from the output SAS data set. This list is comma-delimited and must be surrounded by quotation marks "".

• The OUTSELECT=ON option specifies that the output data set show values of selection keys such as geography codes, groups, sources, and short and long sources for each selected variable name (time series) in the database. The SAS log reports the status of OUTSELECT.

• The OUTSELECT=OFF option specifies that the output data set show the observations in range for all selected time series. This is the default for this option.

• The interface is now using the most current version of DLXAPI32. The SAS log reports the version number of the Haver DLX api.
