correct city names

[caveman529]

Dear All:

Could you please tell me whether there is a function in SAS that can me correct and identify U.S. city and state names?  For example, the following is manually entered.  Thus, it contains data entry errors.  Could you please tell me the best way to clean these city names within SAS.  Thank you!

MIMNEAPOLIS	MN
MIDWAY	TN
BOULDER(BROOMFIELD	CO
CHICACO	IL
ETIWANDA	CA
MIDVALE	UT
MICHIGAN CITY	IN
EMERYVILLE	CA

If the Data Quality Server is licensed at your site then you could use function DQSTANDARDIZE()

SAS(R) 9.3 Data Quality Server Reference

Else: It's quite a bit of coding and if you search this forum then you'll find multiple discussions around data cleansing and standardisation.
