Example 41.12 Selecting Variables Based on Short Source Key Code

Using the information from Example 41.11, you can now select time series by using selection keys such as the SHORT= , GEOG1=, or GEOG2= options. Since the short source values are nontrivial in database haverd, it is best in this case to use the SHORT= option. For more information about using geography codes as selection keys, see Output 41.13.1 for the GEOG1= option and Output 41.13.2 for the GEOG2= option.

Libname lib1 sasehavr "%sysget(HAVER_DATA)"
        short="GOLDMAN, FRB, CRB";
data validE2;
   set lib1.haverd;
   where date  between '18jan2005'd and '29mar2005'd;
run;

title1 'SHORT= option list: GOLDMAN, FRB, CRB';
title2 'Should contain these time series:';
title3 'FCM10, FCM1M, FFED, FFP1D';
title4 'SHORT= option, Print the OUT= ValidE2 Data Set';
proc print data=validE2; 
run;

title4 'SHORT= option, Print the Contents of OUT= ValidE2 Data Set';
proc contents data=validE2;
run;

Output 41.12.1 shows the output for the SHORT= option.

Output 41.12.1 SHORT= Option Shows the Selected Variables

SHORT= option list: GOLDMAN, FRB, CRB

Should contain these time series:

FCM10, FCM1M, FFED, FFP1D

SHORT= option, Print the Contents of OUT= ValidE2 Data Set
