SAS Output Data Set
You can use a SAS DATA step to write the selected Quandl data to a SAS data set. This enables you to use SAS software to easily analyze the data. If you specify the name of the output data set in the DATA statement, the engine supervisor creates a SAS data set that has the specified name in either the SAS Work library or, if specified, the SAS User library.
The contents of the SAS data set include the date of each observation and the series name of each series that is read from the Quandl data source.
The SASEQUAN interface engine maintains the sort order, so the time series are sorted in the resulting SAS data set by the order that is specified in the SORT= option, by date (time ID), and by variable (time series item name).
You can use the PRINT and CONTENTS procedures to print your output data set and its contents. Alternatively, you can view your SAS output observations by opening the desired output data set in a SAS Explorer window. You can also use the SQL procedure with your SASEQUAN libref to create a custom view of your data.
