                   SAS Sample Library

        Name: famex01.sas
 Description: Example program from SAS/ETS User's Guide,
              The SASEFAME Interface Engine
   Title: Converting an Entire 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 oecd1.db file (FAME database).
        To assign a fileref to the external file to be processed,
        use the following form of the libname statement:

libname famedir sasefame "%sysget(FAME_DATA)"
        convert=(freq=annual technique=constant);
----------------------------------------------------------------*/

options pagesize=60 linesize=80 validvarname=any ;
%let FAME=%sysget(FAME);
%put(&FAME);
%let FAMETEMP=%sysget(FAME_TEMP);
%put(&FAMETEMP);

libname famedir sasefame "%sysget(FAME_DATA)"
        convert=(freq=annual technique=constant);

libname mydir "%sysget(FAME_TEMP)";

data mydir.a;  /* add data set to mydir */
   set famedir.oecd1;
   /* Read in oecd1.db data from the Organization */
   /*  For Economic Cooperation and Development    */
   where date between '01jan88'd and '31dec93'd;
run;

proc print data=mydir.a;
run;
