(View the complete code for this example.)

This example demonstrates how to request the CBI time series, which show the change in private industries for three different vintage dates: 1947-08-17, 1966-08-11, and 1994-08-26. Using the early range of START='1942-01-01'and END='1947-04-01', you can get an idea of how the changes show up for each vintage date. If you specify OUTPUT=2, each time series is named by concatenating the series ID to the vintage date with an underscore.
