The SASEFAME Interface Engine

Example 41.13 Selecting Date Case Series with the FAMEOUT= Option

This example shows how to extract date case series. In addition to the existing date case series in the Fame database, you can have formulas that resolve to date case series. The SASEFAME engine resolves all formulas that belong to the class and type of series data object that you specify in the FAMEOUT= option. The following statements write all date case series to the SAS data set CDOUT:

libname lib6 sasefame "%sysget(FAME_DATA)"
   fameout=datecase wildcard="?" ;

data cdout;
   set lib6.alltypes;
run;

title1 'Using FAMEOUT=DATECASE Option without Range';
title2 'ALLTYPES: FAMEOUT=DATECASE and Open Wildcard for Date Case Series';
proc contents
   data=cdout;
run;

proc print
   data=cdout;
run;

Output 41.13.1 and Output 41.13.2 show the results.

Output 41.13.1: Contents of OUT=CDOUT Using FAMEOUT=DATECASE

Using FAMEOUT=DATECASE Option without Range

ALLTYPES: FAMEOUT=DATECASE and Open Wildcard for Date Case Series
