The SASEHAVR Interface Engine

To see which time series are in your Haver database, use the CONTENTS procedure with the SASEHAVR LIBNAME statement to read the contents.

libname lib1 sasehavr "%sysget(HAVER_DATA)"
        freq=yearly start=19920101
        end=20041231
        force=freq;

data hwouty;
   set lib1.haverw;
run;

title1 'Haver Analytics Database, HAVERW.DAT';
title2 'PROC CONTENTS for Time Series converted to yearly frequency';
proc contents data=hwouty;
run;

All time series in the Haver haverw database are listed alphabetically in Output 42.1.1.

You could also use the following SAS statements to create a SAS data set named hwouty and to print its contents.

libname lib1 sasehavr "%sysget(HAVER_DATA)"
       freq=yearly
       start=19920101
       end=20041231
       force=freq;

data hwouty;
   set lib1.haverw;
run;

title1 'Haver Analytics Database, Frequency=yearly, infile=haverw.dat';
title2 'Define a range inside the data range for OUT= dataset,';
title3 'Using the START=19920101 END=20041231 LIBNAME options.';

proc print data=hwouty;
run;

The preceding LIBNAME LIB1 statement specifies that all time series in the haverw database be converted to a yearly frequency but to select only the range of data from January 1, 1992, to December 31, 2004. The resulting SAS data set hwouty is shown in Output 42.1.2.
