Excerpts from the Introduction: The EZPSD procedure is designed to meet three needs. The first is to make available to SPEAKEZ users the Foreign Agricultural Service's Production, Supply and Distribution (PSD) data base. The SPEAKEZ/FEDEASY routines are powerful statistical, econometric, and mathematical tools that will greatly enhance the capabilities of USDA analysts working with the PSD data. The second need is to provide an inexpensive but flexible means of listing the FAS data. The EASYSTRIEVE package is used to accomplish this at considerably less cost and greater ease than possible with FORESIGHT or SPEAKEZ. However, knowledge of EASYTRIEVE is not usually required. The third and final need is ancillary to retrieving the FAS PSD data. It is to provide batch processing of SPEAKEZ commands from the interactive terminal.
