                   SAS Sample Library

        Name: famex02.sas
 Description: Example program from SAS/ETS User's Guide,
              The SASEFAME Interface Engine
   Title: Reading Time Series from the FAME Database
 Product: SAS/ETS Software
    Keys: FAME data extraction
   Procs: SASEFAME
   Notes: Read this before you run this sample.
        The database resides in the ets/sasmisc folder. You
        must copy the database to a writeable folder before
        using it. Then define your Windows system environment
        variable, FAME_DATA, to the path of your
        writeable folder containing
        the subecon.db file (FAME database).
        To assign a fileref to the external file to be processed,
        use the following form of the libname statement:

libname lib1 sasefame "%sysget(FAME_DATA)"
        wildcard="wspca?"
        convert=(technique=constant freq=twicemonthly );
----------------------------------------------------------------*/
options validvarname=any;

%let FAME=%sysget(FAME);
%put(&FAME);
%let FAMETEMP=%sysget(FAME_TEMP);
%put(&FAMETEMP);

libname lib1 sasefame "%sysget(FAME_DATA)"
        wildcard="wspca?"
        convert=(technique=constant freq=twicemonthly );

libname lib2 "%sysget(FAME_TEMP)";

data lib2.twild(label='Annual Series from the FAMEECON.db');
   set lib1.subecon;
   where date between '01jan93'd and '31dec93'd;
   /* keep only  */
   keep date wspca;
run;

proc contents data=lib2.twild;
run;

proc print data=lib2.twild;
run;
