The X12 Procedure

Displayed Output/ODS Table Names/OUTPUT Tablename Keywords

The options specified in PROC X12 control both the tables produced by the procedure and the tables available for output to the OUT= data set specified in the OUTPUT statement.

The displayed output is organized into tables identified by a part letter and a sequence number within the part. The seven major parts of the X12 procedure are as follows:

A

prior adjustments and regARIMA components (optional)

B

preliminary estimates of irregular component weights and trading day regression factors (X-11 method)

C

final estimates of irregular component weights and trading day regression factors

D

final estimates of seasonal, trend cycle, and irregular components

E

analytical tables

F

summary measures

G

charts

Table 34.9 describes the individual tables and charts. "P" indicates that the table is only displayed and is not available for output to the OUT= data set. Data from displayed tables can be extracted into data sets by using the Output Delivery System (ODS). For more information about the SAS Output Delivery System, see the SAS Output Delivery System: User's Guide. For more information about the features of the ODS Graphics system, including the many ways that you can control or customize the plots that are produced by SAS procedures, see Chapter 21, Statistical Graphics Using ODS (SAS/STAT 9.22 User's Guide).

When tables available through the OUTPUT statement are output using ODS, the summary line is included in the ODS output by default. The summary line gives the average, standard deviation, or total by each period. The value –1 for YEAR indicates that the summary line is a total; the value –2 for YEAR indicates that the summary line is an average; and the value –3 for YEAR indicates that the line is a standard deviation. The value of YEAR for historical and forecast values will be greater than or equal to zero. Thus, a negative value indicates a summary line. You can suppress the summary line altogether by specifying the NOSUM option in the TABLES statement. However, the NOSUM option also suppresses the display of the summary line in the displayed table.

"T" indicates that the table is available using the OUTPUT statement, but is not displayed by default; you must request that these tables be displayed by using the TABLES Statement. If there is no notation in the "Notes" column, then the table is available directly using the OUTPUT statement, without specifiying the TABLES statement. If a table is not computed, then it is not displayed; if it is requested in the OUTPUT statement, then the variable in the OUT= data set contains missing values. The actual number of tables displayed depends on the options and statements specified.
