The SASEFRED Interface Engine

This example demonstrates how to request the ADJRES and ADJRESN time series, which show the St. Louis adjusted reserves, the first of which is seasonally adjusted and the second of which is not seasonally adjusted. The request is made for three different vintage dates, but only 2006-08-31 and 2013-06-13 yield data when you use the range of START=’2004-01-01’and END=’2012-12-01’. If you specify OUTPUT=2, each time series is named by concatenating the series ID to the vintage date with an underscore. For brevity, Output 39.6.1 shows only the first 10 and last 10 observations. The sort order is descending; that is why the dates start with the most recent observation and continue in biweekly (ending Wednesday) periods to the least recent.
