Example 38.3 Accessing One PERMNO Using No RANGE

SASECRSP defaults to providing access to the entire range of available data when no range restriction is specified via the RANGE= option.

This example shows access of the entire range of available data for one particular PERMNO extracted from the monthly data set.

title2 'Select only PERMNO = 81871';
title3 'Valid trading dates (19890131--19981231)';
title4 'No range option, leave wide open';

libname _all_ clear;
libname testit3 sasecrsp "%sysget(CRSP_MSTK)"
        setid=20
        permno=81871;

data c;
   set testit3.ask;
run;

proc print data=c;
run;

The result is shown in Output 38.3.1.
