META_POPULATIONxCOUNTRY

Provide the population of EU countries.

Contents

A table named after the value &G_PING_POPULATIONxCOUNTRY (e.g., META_POPULATIONxCOUNTRY) shall be defined in the library named after the value &G_PING_LIBCFG (e.g., LIBCFG) so as to contain for every country in the EU+EFTA geographic area:

• total population for any year from 2003.

In practice, the table (e.g., what used to be CCWGH60) looks like this (can change owing to updates):

GEO	Y2003	Y2004	Y2005	Y2006	Y2007	Y2008	Y2009	Y2010	Y2011	Y2012	Y2013	Y2014	Y2015

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_populationxcountry(cds_zonexyear=A, cfg=B, clib=C);

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

%meta_populationxcountry(cds_popxctry=&G_PING_POPULATIONxCOUNTRY, 
                     cfg=&G_PING_AGGREGATES/meta, 
                     clib=&G_PING_LIBCFG);

Example

Generate the table META_POPULATIONxCOUNTRY in the WORK directory:

%meta_populationxcountry(clib=WORK);
