The TIMEDATA Procedure

The REGISTER statement specifies which time series and time frequency analysis packages to make available for your user-defined program. These packages include functions that you can utilize from your program to perform sophisticated time series processing. These packages provide functionality that ranges from a simple function to count missing observations in an array to very sophisticated functions that perform time series statistical analysis.

The REGISTER statement enables you to specify package names that are available for use. You can only specify a single package in a REGISTER statement. However, you can specify multiple REGISTER statements.

All packages that are specified in REGISTER statements are loaded prior to parsing your program statements so that any references are defined at the time your code is parsed. If you specify an invalid package name, then an error is returned prior to parsing your program statements. For more information, see SAS Forecast Server 15.1: Time Series Packages.
