    Notes: Read this before you run this sample.
           The database resides in the ets/sasmisc folder. You
           must copy the database to a writeable folder before
           using it. Then define your Windows system environment
           variable, HAVER_DATA, to the path of your
           writeable folder containing
           the haverw.dat and haverw.idx files (Haver database files).
           To assign a fileref to the external file to be processed,
           use the following form of the libname statement:

libname lib1 sasehavr "%sysget(HAVER_DATA)"
        freq=quarterly
        start=20010401
        end=20041231
        force=freq;

libname lib1 sasehavr "%sysget(HAVER_DATA)"
        freq=quarterly
        start=20010401
        end=20041231
        force=freq;

data hwoutq;
   set lib1.haverw;
run;

title1 'Haver Analytics Database, Frequency=quarterly, infile=haverw.dat';
title2 '  Define a range inside the data range for OUT= dataset';
title3 '  Using the START=20010401 END=20041231 LIBNAME options.';

proc print data=hwoutq;
run;
