 Description: Example program from SAS/ETS User's Guide,
              The SASECRSP Interface Engine
    Title: Using INSET Ranges with the LIBNAME RANGE Option
  Product: SAS/ETS Software
     Keys: CCM data access, CRSPAccess, Date range, INSET= option
    Procs: SASECRSP
    Notes: Read this before you run this sample.
           The CRSP CCM database resides in the  CRSP_CST folder. You
           must install your CRSP COMPUSTAT Merged data
           and define your Windows system environment
           variable, CRSP_CST, to point to the physical path
           of your installed CRSP CCM database. Use the following
           form of the libname statement:

libname mylib sasecrsp "%sysget(CRSP_CST)"
        SETID=200
        INSET='two_companies,gvkey,gvkey,date1,date2'
        RANGE='19990801-20020421';
----------------------------------------------------------------*/
data two_companies;
   gvkey=6066;  date1=19800101; date2=20000201; output;
   gvkey=12141; date1=20010101; date2=20051231; output;
run;

libname _all_ clear;
libname mylib sasecrsp "%sysget(CRSP_CST)"
        SETID=200
        INSET='two_companies,gvkey,gvkey,date1,date2'
        RANGE='19990801-20020421';

proc sql;
   select prcc.gvkey,prcc.caldt,prcc,ern
      from mylib.prcc as prcc, mylib.ern as ern
      where prcc.caldt = ern.caldt and
            prcc.gvkey = ern.gvkey;
quit;
