DISAGGDATA <options> ;

The DISAGGDATA statement enables you to specify names for forecasting variables in the DISAGGDATA= data set. The default names are ACTUAL, PREDICT, LOWER, UPPER, ERROR, and STD.

The following options can be specified in the DISAGGDATA statement.

ACTUAL=variable-name

specifies the name of the variable in the DISAGGDATA= data set that contains the actual values.

PREDICT=variable-name

specifies the name of the variable in the DISAGGDATA= data set that contains the predicted values.

LOWER=variable-name

specifies the name of the variable in the DISAGGDATA= data set that contains the lower confidence limit values.

UPPER=variable-name

specifies the name of the variable in the DISAGGDATA= data set that contains the upper confidence limit values.

ERROR=variable-name

specifies the name of the variable in the DISAGGDATA= data set that contains the error values.

STD=variable-name

specifies the name of the variable in the DISAGGDATA= data set that contains the standard error values.

BYVARSSORTED

specifies that the DISAGGDATA= data set be sorted by the BY variables. This option improves input/output performance when there is an index defined on the BY variables. Use of an index degrades the performance as compared to processing a sorted data set. If the BYVARSSORTED option is not specified, PROC HPFRECONCILE uses only the index for processing and disregards the sorting order. If you specify the BYVARSSORTED option in the DISAGGDATA statement, PROC HPFRECONCILE exploits the sorting order to achieve better performance and uses the index minimally.
