In response, we have marked the series as "discontinued" in their metadata and the catalog. Figures are millions of Deutsche Marks (Mil. DM) not seasonally adjusted (NSA). The series run from as early as January 1990 to December 2012.

The series reside in the historical catalog (Germany » Government » Federal Employment Agency) and include, for example:

• DBBBU3021M.IDEU = [DISCONTINUED] Monthly Report: Public Finances in Germany - Federal Employment Agency Budgetary Development; Expenditure; Job Promotion; East Germany, (Mil. DM, NSA)
• DBBBU0137M.IDEU = [DISCONTINUED] Job Promotion; West Germany
• DBBBU0053M.IDEU = [DISCONTINUED] Unemployment Support; West Germany

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
