The SASEHAVR Interface Engine

Example 41.10 Using the GROUP Option to Subset Time Series from a Haver Database

You can use the GROUP= or DROPGROUP= option to select specific variables that belong to a certain group, similar to the way you use the KEEP= or DROP= option.

Output 41.10.1, Output 41.10.2, and Output 41.10.3 show three different cross sections of the same database, haverw, by specifying three unique GROUP= options: GROUP="F*" in LIBNAME LIB1, GROUP="M*" in LIBNAME LIB2, and GROUP="E*" in LIBNAME LIB3.

The following statements specify GROUP="F*" in the LIBNAME LIB1 statement:

libname lib1 sasehavr "%sysget(HAVER_DATA)"
        freq=week.6 
        force=freq 
        start=20040102 
        end=20041001 
        group="F*";

data hwoutwA;
   set lib1.haverw;
run;

title1 'Haver Analytics Database, Frequency=week.6, infile=haverw.dat';
title2 '   Define a range inside the data range for OUT= dataset';          
title3 '   Using the START=20040102 END=20041001 LIBNAME options.';          
title4 '   Subset further: Using group="F*" LIBNAME option';              
proc print data=hwoutwA;
run;

Output 41.10.1 shows the output.

Output 41.10.1 Using the GROUP=F* Option and Defining a Range

Haver Analytics Database, Frequency=week.6, infile=haverw.dat

Define a range inside the data range for OUT= dataset

Using the START=20040102 END=20041001 LIBNAME options.

Subset further: Using group="F*" LIBNAME option
