    Notes: Read this before you run this sample.                      
           The CRSP CCM database resides in the  CRSP_CST folder. You 
           must install your CRSP COMPUSTAT Merged data
           and define your Windows system environment  
           variable, CRSP_CST, to point to the physical path
           of your installed CRSP CCM database. Use the following
           form of the libname statement:         
 
libname mylib sasecrsp "%sysget(CRSP_CST)"
        SETID=200
        INSET='two_companies,gvkey,gvkey,date1,date2'
        RANGE='19990801-20020421';
----------------------------------------------------------------*/
data two_companies;
   gvkey=6066;  date1=19800101; date2=20000201; output;
   gvkey=12141; date1=20010101; date2=20051231; output;
