Example 49.13 Selecting Variables Based on Geography Key Codes

Since the haverd database did not have interesting geography codes, the following statements access the INTWKLY database by using its more complete geography key codes to select the desired time series from the specified geography codes:


Libname lib1 sasehavr "%sysget(HAVER_DATA_NEW)"
        outselect=on
   keep="R273RF3,X924USBE,R023DF,R273G1,F023A,F158FBS,F023ACR,X156VEB,F023ACE";

data valid1(keep=NAME SOURCE GEOG1 GEOG2 SHORTSRC LONGSRC);
   set lib1.intwkly;
run;

title1 'OUTSELECT=ON, Print the OUT= Data Set';
title2 'Shows the Values for Key Selection Variables:';
title3 'Name, Source, Geog1, Geog2, Shortsrc, Longsrc';
title4 'OUTSELECT=ON, the CONTENTS Procedure with Variable Names and Labels';
proc print data=valid1;
run;

Libname lib2 sasehavr "%sysget(HAVER_DATA_NEW)"
   geog1="156";

data valid2(
   keep=date R273RF3 X924USBE R023DF R273G1 F023A F158FBS F023ACR X156VEB F023ACE);

title2 'Select Geography Code 2 Option:';
title3 'GEOG2= option';

proc contents
   data=valid3;
run;

title1 'Compare GEOG1 Code 156';
title2 'Over nonmissing values range';
title3 'With GEOG2 Code 299';
title4 'Over nonmissing values range';

proc compare listall briefsummary criterion=1.0e-5
   base=valid2(
   where=( date between '09jan1998'd and '28dec2007'd ))
   compare=valid3(
   where=( date between '09jan1998'd and '28dec2007'd ));
run;

Output 49.13.1, Output 49.13.2, Output 49.13.3, and Output 49.13.4 show the output.
