My data looks like this:-

Latitude            Longitude

26.89155         75.82533
26.89156         75.82563
26.896437       75.827229

26.89111          75.819003
26.899911       75.813517
26.89716         75.813694
26.897943       75.813052
26.89255         75.813286

 

I have to make clusters of areas with a radius of 250metres.

So what would your output data look like?

Check GEODISTANCE() to get the distance between two points and use SQL to get what you want.

Maybe GEODIST ?

Yeah. Too many function name in my mind.

 

data have;
input Latitude            Longitude;
id+1;
cards;

26.89716         75.813694
26.897943       75.813052
26.89255         75.813286
;
run;

proc sql;
select a.*,b.id as _id,geodist(a.Latitude,a.Longitude,b.Latitude,b.Longitude,'M') as dis
 from have as a,have as b
  where a.id ne b.id
  order by id,_id;
quit;

Firstly Thanks a lot for your solution,

But the problem i m getting is that this solution makes the same input(lat,long) appear a number of times.

What I want is that points that form a cluster be grouped as cluster_1 and so on.

I hope you understand my problem.

OK. Here is .

  order by id,_id;
quit;
data have;
 set temp;
 call sortn(id,_id);
