But can I use SGMAP to animate a graph if it does not support the by statement?
How would you change the boundaries?
Thanks!
The best way to control the boundaries, in this case, is to overlay a CHOROMAP over the OpenStreetMap, without a response variable in the CHOROMAP. statement. Use a WHERE on the MAPDATA so that only the areas showing the flu data are drawn. This should give you consistency in what OSM tiles are used.
Giving credit where credit's due, @GraphGuy used this trick in his blog post about the recent California earthquakes.
Hope this helps!

Yes I did see your example. It did not run on my SAS and I had to terminate it. When attempting to use that code with my data, it runs but there is no output file.

I got it to work! Not sure why it was not working earlier. If my date is entered as "01Jan19:00:00:00" could that be why this method is not working with my data?
%let start=%sysfunc(inputn(&start,date9.));
76 %let end=%sysfunc(inputn(&end,date9.));
77 %let dif=%sysfunc(intck(day,&start,&end));
78 %do i=0 %to &dif;
79 %let date=%sysfunc(intnx(day,&start,&i,b));
I have narrowed it down to this part of the code being what I need to change to work the datetime column I have. I have been trying to play around with it but cannot seem to pinpoint what exactly needs to be altered. This is my first time working with code like thi.
