    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, HAVER_DATA, to the path of your                
           writeable folder containing                                
           the haverd.dat and haverd.idx files (Haver database files).                                     
           To assign a fileref to the external file to be processed,  
           use the following form of the libname statement:
       
libname lib1 sasehavr "%sysget(HAVER_DATA)" 
        freq=daily 
        start=20041101 
        end=20041231 
        keep="FCM*";

libname lib1 sasehavr "%sysget(HAVER_DATA)" 
        freq=daily 
        start=20041101 
        end=20041231 
        keep="FCM*";

data hwoutd;
   set lib1.haverd;
run;

title1 'Haver Analytics Database, Frequency=daily, infile=haverd.dat';
title2 '   Define a range inside the data range for OUT= dataset';        
title3 '   Using the START=20041101 END=20041231 LIBNAME options.';       
title4 '   Subset further: Using keep="FCM*" LIBNAME option ';
