/*----------------------------------------------------------------

                   SAS Sample Library

        Name: famex08.sas
 Description: Example program from SAS/ETS User's Guide,
              The SASEFAME Interface Engine
   Title: Selecting Time Series Using CROSSLIST=Option and KEEP Statement
 Product: SAS/ETS Software
    Keys: FAME data extraction, CROSSLIST
   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 training.db file (FAME database).
        To assign a fileref to the external file to be processed,
        use the following form of the libname statement:

libname lib8 sasefame "%sysget(FAME_DATA)"
        convert=(frequency=business technique=constant)
        crosslist=(
           { IBM,SPALN,SUNW,XOM },
           { adjust, close, high, low, open, volume,
             uclose, uhigh, ulow,uopen,uvolume }
                   );

libname lib8 sasefame "%sysget(FAME_DATA)"
        convert=(frequency=business technique=constant)
        crosslist=(
           { IBM,SPALN,SUNW,XOM },
           { adjust, close, high, low, open, volume,
             uclose, uhigh, ulow,uopen,uvolume }
                   );
