I don't see the result of proc gmap

[CarolineDP]

I'm trying to learn how to use gmap.

Even with a common example using a predefined sas map, I don't see any result and I don't get any error message in the log.

I was trying:

proc gmap
map=maps.us
data=maps.us (obs=1)
all;
id state;
choro state / nolegend;
run;

1) it often helps to paste the LOG with any messages

2) Proc Gmap supports run group processing so you want to make sure to end with a QUIT statement so the proc stops.

3) What ods destination was open and what ods style is active?

I can run your code and get a US map with Alabama as the only state with color other than background.

The log result:

NOTE: Writing HTML Body file: sashtml1.htm
10   map=maps.us
11   data=maps.us (obs=1)
12   all;
13   id state;
14   choro state / nolegend;
15   run;

16   quit;

The bits in green show where the results were sent. If you don't have these then look for a "no ods destinations active" note. Or verify that your ODS destination will accept graphics, not all do.
