Example 36.16 Reading Time Series by Defining Fame Expression Groups in the INSET= Option with the KEEP= Clause

To keep all the numeric time series that are listed in the expressions given in the input data set, INSETA, use the INSET=( setname KEEPLIST=fame_expression_group ) and the WILDCARD="?" options. The following statements show how to select time series that are specified in a KEEP expression group and are written to the SAS output data set.

data inseta; /* Use this for d8690 training data base */
   length express $52;
   express='cvx.close;'; output;
   express='{ibm.high,ibm.low,ibm.close};'; output;
   express='mave(ibm.close,30);'; output;
   express='crosslist({gm,f,c},{volume});'; output;
   express='cvx.close+ibm.close;'; output;
   express='ibm.close;'; output;
   express='sum(pep.volume);'; output;          
   express='mave(pep.close,20);'; output;
run;

title1 'TRAINING DB, Pricing Timeseries for Expressions in INSET=';  
proc print
   data=inseta;
run;

Output 36.16.1 shows the expressions that are stored as observations in INSETA.

2 {ibm.high,ibm.low,ibm.close};
3 mave(ibm.close,30);
4 crosslist({gm,f,c},{volume});
5 cvx.close+ibm.close;
6 ibm.close;
7 sum(pep.volume);
8 mave(pep.close,20);

The following statements show how to use the INSET= option to keep all of the time series that are represented in INSETA as the group variable named express.

libname libX sasefame "%sysget(FAME_DATA)"
   wildcard="?"
   convert=(frequency=business technique=constant) 
   range='23jul1997'd - '25jul1997'd 
   inset=( inseta KEEP=express)  
   ;
 

data trout;
   set libX.trainten;
run;

title1 'TRAINING DB, Pricing Timeseries for Expressions in INSET=';
proc print data=trout;
run;

proc contents data=trout;
run;

Output 36.16.2 and Output 36.16.3 show the results.
