META_INDICATOR_CODES

Generate the tables of predefined indicator codes.

Contents

A table named after the value &G_PING_INDICATOR_CODES (e.g., META_INDICATOR_CODES) shall be defined in the library named after the value &G_PING_LIBCFG (e.g., LIBCFG) so as to contain the codes of all indicators created in production.

In practice, the table looks like this:

code	survey	lib
DI01	EUSILC	RDB
DI02	EUSILC	RDB
DI03	EUSILC	RDB
DI04	EUSILC	RDB
DI05	EUSILC	RDB
di06	ECHP	.
DI07	EUSILC	RDB
di07h	ECHP	.
DI08	EUSILC	RDB
DI09	EUSILC	RDB

Creation and update

Consider an input CSV table called A.csv, with same structure as above, and stored in a directory named B. In order to create/update the SAS table A in library C, as described above, it is then enough to run:

%meta_indicator_codes(cds_ind_cod=A, cfg=B, clib=C);

Note that, by default, the command %meta_indicator_contents; runs:

%meta_indicator_codes(cds_ind_cod=&G_PING_INDICATOR_CODES, 
                cfg=&G_PING_ESTIMATION/meta, 
                clib=&G_PING_LIBCFG, zone=yes);

Example

Generate the table META_INDICATOR_CODES in the WORK directory:

%meta_indicator_codes(clib=WORK);
