           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 haverd.dat and haverd.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)"
        outselect=on ;

Libname lib1 sasehavr "%sysget(HAVER_DATA)"
        outselect=on ;

data validD1;
   set lib1.haverd;
run;
