The OUTSPAN= option is specified in the PROC statement, and writes the sliding spans results to the specified output data set. The OUTSPAN= data set contains the following variables:
A1
, a numeric variable that is a copy of the original series truncated to the current span. Note that overlapping spans will
contain identical values for this variable.
C18
, a numeric variable that contains the trading-day factors for the seasonal adjustment for the current span
D10
, a numeric variable that contains the seasonal factors for the seasonal adjustment for the current span
D11
, a numeric variable that contains the seasonally adjusted series for the current span
DATE
, a numeric variable that contains the date within the current span
SPAN
, a numeric variable that contains the current span. The first span is the earliest span—that is the one with the earliest
starting date.
VARNAME
, a character variable containing the name of each variable in the VAR list. A separate sliding spans analysis is performed
on each variable in the VAR list.
