The DATASOURCE Procedure

Data Elements Reference: DATASOURCE Procedure

PROC DATASOURCE can process only certain kinds of data files. For certain time series databases, the DATASOURCE procedure has built-in information on the layout of files composing the database. PROC DATASOURCE knows how to read only these kinds of data files. To access these databases, you must indicate the data file type in the FILETYPE= option. For more detailed information, see the corresponding document for each filetype. (See References.) The currently supported file types are summarized in Table 11.5.
