Sas gmap

saza — Sun, 03 Apr 2022 12:08:38 GMT

I am trying to sort my data from a dataset in order to make a gmap and was asked the following:

Choose one cause (high blood pressure, obstructive heart disease, or stroke) and one level of sex (all, female, or male) and subset your data to only those levels.
Use the “levels” option or define your own categories with proc format and the “discrete” option to display no more than five levels of either visits or visit rates.

This is my code:


proc sort data = saslab3;
	by sex= 'female' cause= 'storke';
	run;
	
proc gmap map = usstates
		  data = saslab3
		  all;
	id sex ='female' cause= 'stroke';
	choro ER_Visit_rate / levels = 3 missing;
	run;
	quit;

This is the error I am receiving when I run proc sort:

This is my legend:

When I run the GMAP code I get the following error:

I was told USstates exists in sas?

From now on, please include logs as plain text (not screen captures) by clicking on the </> icon and then pasting your log into the window that appears.

You cannot do subsetting in a BY statement or an ID statement. You do subsetting in a WHERE statement, you can do this in PROC GMAP, and then PROC SORT isn't needed. Give it a try.

If you look in your WORK library, you do not see USSTATES, so you have the wrong library. If you look in the MAPSGFK library, you find a data set that is spelled US_STATES, perhaps that is the one you want.

I was able to sort in both gmap and proc sort, thank you!
I am now only getting an error that states "sex" is not a variable on the US_States map. I am having trouble accessing that map so I can rename the sex variable within it.

Yes, US_STATES is a map data set, it contains the co-ordinates of the boundaries of the different states so that a map can be drawn. It doesn't contain SEX.

You provide a "legend" showing a variable named SEX, what data set is that?

Also, no need for PROC SORT.
