    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 intwkly.dat and intwkly.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_NEW)"
        outselect=on
   keep="R273RF3,X924USBE,R023DF,R273G1,F023A,F158FBS,F023ACR,X156VEB,F023ACE";
