Data Elements Reference: SASECRSP Interface Engine

Data sets are made available based on the type of CRSP database that you open. Table 10 and Table 11 show summary views of the two types of CRSP databases (Stock and Indices) and the data sets that they make available. Tables that contain details about the data sets, including their specific fields, immediately follow the summary tables. You can also see the available data sets for an opened database via the SAS Explorer by opening a SASECRSP engine libref that you previously assigned.
