Drop Using N-literals-Writing Time Series to the SAS Data Set
/*----------------------------------------------------------------
SAS Sample Library
Name: famex03a.sas
Description: Example program from SAS/ETS User's Guide,
The SASEFAME Interface Engine
Title: Drop Using N-literals-Writing Time Series to the SAS Data Set
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 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;
drop 'ita.dirdes'n--'jpn.herd'n 'tur.dirdes'n--'usa.herd'n;
where date between '01jan88'd and '31dec93'd;

proc print data=mydir.a;
