The SASECRSP Interface Engine

Example 38.3 Accessing One PERMNO without the RANGE= Option

The SASECRSP engine defaults to providing access to the entire range of available data when you do not restrict the range (that is, when you do not use 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.
