    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 haverw.dat and haverw.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=quarterly 
        start=20010401 
        end=20041231 
        force=freq;

libname lib1 sasehavr "%sysget(HAVER_DATA)" 
        freq=quarterly 
        start=20010401 
        end=20041231 
        force=freq;

data hwoutq;
   set lib1.haverw;
run;

title1 'Haver Analytics Database, Frequency=quarterly, infile=haverw.dat';
title2 '  Define a range inside the data range for OUT= dataset';            
title3 '  Using the START=20010401 END=20041231 LIBNAME options.';
