The SASEFAME Interface Engine

Example 47.14 Selecting String Case Series with the FAMEOUT= Option

This example shows how to extract string case series. In addition to the existing string case series in your Fame database, you can have formulas that resolve to string case series. The SASEFAME engine resolves all formulas that belong to the class and type of series data object that you specify in the FAMEOUT= option. The following statements write all string case series to the SAS data set CSTROUT:

libname lib7 sasefame "%sysget(FAME_DATA)"
   fameout=stringcase wildcard="?" ;

data cstrout;
   set lib7.alltypes;
run;

title1 'Using FAMEOUT=STRINGCASE Option without Range';
title2 'ALLTYPES, FAMEOUT=STRINGCASE and Open Wildcard for String Case Series';
proc contents
   data=cstrout;
run;

proc print
   data=cstrout;
run;

Output 47.14.1 and Output 47.14.2 show the results.
