The SASEFAME Interface Engine

Example 41.5 Creating a View Using the SQL Procedure and the SASEFAME Engine

The following statements create a view of OECD data by using the SQL procedure’s FROM and USING clauses. For more information about SQL views, see the BASE SAS Procedures Guide.

 title1 'famesql5: PROC SQL Dual Embedded Libraries w/ FAME option';
 options validvarname=any;

 %let FAME=%sysget(FAME);
 %put(&FAME);
 %let FAMETEMP=%sysget(FAME_TEMP);
 %put(&FAMETEMP);

 title2 'OECD1: Dual Embedded Library Allocations with FAME Option';
 proc sql;
    create view fameview as
       select date, 'fin.herd'n
          from lib1.oecd1
       using libname lib1 sasefame "%sysget(FAME_DATA)"
                convert=(tech=constant freq=annual),
             libname temp "%sysget(FAME_TEMP)";
 quit;

 title2 'OECD1: Print of View from Embedded Library with FAME Option';
 proc print data=fameview;
 run;

Output 41.5.1 shows the results.

The following statements create a view of the Data Resources Incorporated (DRI) Basic Economic data by using the SQL procedure’s FROM and USING clauses:

title2 'DRIECON: Dual Embedded Library Allocations with FAME Option';
options validvarname=any;

%let FAME=%sysget(FAME);
%put(&FAME);
%let FAMETEMP=%sysget(FAME_TEMP);

quit;

proc print data=fameview;

The SAS option VALIDVARNAME=ANY is used at the beginning of this example because special characters are present in the time series names. The output from this example shows how each Fame view is the output of the SASEFAME engine’s processing. Different engine options could have been used in the USING LIBNAME clause if desired. Output 41.5.4 shows the results.
