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

                   SAS SAMPLE LIBRARY

       Name: fsdex12.sas
Description: Example program from SAS/ETS User's Guide,
             The SASEXFSD Interface Engine
      Title: Retrieving Benchmark Data
    Product: SAS/ETS Software
       Keys: FactSet data extraction
      Procs: SASEXFSD
      Notes: Read this before you run this sample.
             The sample data provided resides in the ets/sasmisc folder.
             If you are using automap=READONLY, then you must copy the
             map of your incoming XML data to a writeable folder before
             using it. So, define a system environment variable
             ,FACTSET, to the path of your  writeable folder containing
             the fsdex12.map file and FSDEX12.xml.
             To assign a fileref to the external file to be processed,
             use the following form of the libname statement:

           libname fsd sasexfsd "%sysget(FACTSET)"
              factlet=ExtractBenchmarkDetail
              ids='sp50'
              items='p_price,proper_name'
              dates='20130320'
              cutoff=10
              format=sml
              outXml=fsdex12
              automap=replace
              mapref=MyMap
              xmlmap="%sysget(FACTSET)fsdex12.map"
              orientation=eti
              user='<your FactSet username for internet FASTfetch access>'
              pass='<your FactSet password for internet FASTfetch access>';
