Hello,

I'm trying to see if I can geocode an address file and get back Fips State, Fips County, Tract, Block, Place, MSA, CBSA, etc.

The code below only returns Y, X, Block, Tract, M_ADDR, M_CITY, M_STATE, M_ZIP, M_OBS, _MATCHED_, _STATUS_, _NOTES_, _SCORE_ and then my columns, ID, RAW_ADDRESS, RAW_CITY, RAW_STATE, RAW_ZIP.  I'm not sure how to get the FIPS variables, Place, MSA, CBSA.

proc geocode

method = street

addressvar = RAW_ADDR

addresscityvar = RAW_CITY

addresszipvar = RAW_ZIP

addressstatevar = RAW_ST

data = temp

out = temp_out

attribute_var = (BLOCK, TRACT)

lookupstreet = geodata.USM

;

run ;

Thank you

I'm not sure which interpretation of "place" you are using.

You can join your data with SASHELP.ZIPCODE to get state FIP, County FIP and MSA.

proc sql;

     create table want as

     select a.*, b.state, b.county, b.msa

     from have as a left join SASHELP.ZIPCODE as b

     on a.zipcode=b.zip;

quit;

Note that the Zip in SASHELP.ZIPCODE is numeric. There are a few city name variables that might correspond to your place.

You may need to find another dataset with CBSA to perform a similar merge.

Hi ballardw,

Thank you so much for you help.  That did get me those 3 variables I needed.  The place is the FIPS Place and the CBSA are the other 2 I need.  I will look to see if SAS offers a file that will contain those 2 variables.

Thank you again for your help.
