Hey guys,   First of all, I'd really like to thank you for helping me thus far; I realize you may be worried about me cheating on a project, but this is all completely optional and doesn't affect my grade --- it's a matter of aesthetics.   Since my knowledge of SAS is limited, I was hoping I could reiterate what I know, what I have so far, and what exactly is in my data set. From there, I would be honored if you guys could help me from what I have.   I am trying to create a map of the world with coordinates as simple dots. I realize that you guys have already given me numerous different examples, but like I stated previously, my knowledge of SAS is limited and I really have no idea what's going on in any of them.   I've attached the code I have thus for the map (its in a text file, as the forums aren't letting me submit a .sas file). ...

Wow, thanks for the help! This is way more complicated than I originally thought and really don't know how to do this on my own. Is there any part of code in the example I do not need?    Is there any way that can do this to a level that isn't as complicated and easy for me to figure out or..??   ... View more

Hello, thank you. Don't worry my project isn't  solely based around this map.   A few questions for you: 1. Where's antarctica a lot of my data is based from there (not all but most) ?? 2. What are the exact steps of making this map?  I have my data set/step "Meteorite_Landings" What other data set do I need to make? I'm sorry I'm new to all this proc gmap but what/why do I need to combine? I have a proc gproject with out = I have a proc gmap   3. What is anno_flag?   ... View more

Please, anyone still out there willing to help me? I'm running out of time. ... View more

My code I guess isn't the best but it does what I want it so far   Full code:   data work.Meteorite_Landings; infile 'H:\SAS\Final Project\Meteorite_Landings.csv' dlm = ',' missover dsd; length Name $ 25 Nametype $ 6 Recclass $ 15 Fall $ 6 Date $ 20 GeoLocation $ 30; input Name $ ID Nametype $ Recclass $ MassGrams Fall $ Date $ Reclat Reclong GeoLocation $; /* Drop latitude and longitude drop Reclat Reclong; */ if Name ne 'name'; if (Name = ' ') or (ID = '.') or (Nametype = ' ') or (Recclass = ' ') or (MassGrams = '.') or (Fall = ' ') or (Date = ' ') or (Reclat = '.') or (Reclong = '.') or (GeoLocation = ' ') then delete; if (length(GeoLocation) > 30) or (length(GeoLocation) < 6) or (index(GeoLocation,'"')) or (length(Date) < 6) or (length(Fall) > 😎 or (length(Fall) > 10) then delete; Year = substr(scan(Date,1,' '),7,4); Fall = tranwrd(Fall,'ound','Found'); Fall = tranwrd(Fall,'FFound','Found'); label Name = 'Meteorite*Name' ID = 'ID #' Nametype ='Name Type' Recclass = 'Classification' MassGrams = 'Mass in*Grams' Fall = 'Fall' GeoLocation = 'Geographic*Location' Year = 'Year Fell'; format MassGrams comma14.2; run; proc gproject data = work.Meteorite_Landings norangecheck degree out = work.gproject; id Reclat Reclong; run; proc gmap map = maps.world data = work.gproject; id Reclat Reclong; run; quit;     ...

Initially in my dataset I had done the calculation for degrees to raidans. And since I have posted this I have added the out =.   Now I have this error:   ERROR: Variable RECLAT not found. ERROR: Variable RECLONG not found.   Both reclat and reclong are the names of my latitude and longitude in my data set.    This is what I have so far:    proc gproject data = work.Meteorite_Landings norangecheck degree out = work.gproject; id Reclat Reclong; run; proc gmap map = maps.world data = work.gproject; id Reclat Reclong; run;     I'm not sure if I'm doing this ID thing right as I have never used proc gmap or gproject in my class at school. ...

I totally understand that what I'm asking isn't really at a good time. Again I would like a World Map not just a map of the US. I mean I'm sure there's a way I just haven't used proc gmap or proc sgplot as the class at my High School is just really an introduction I suppose.    I think what Darrel said "Look at http://support.sas.com/rnd/papers/archive.html#2004. For the paper AND examples: Tips and Tricks II: Getting the most from your SAS/GRAPH maps The example "DrillHover", is similar to what you want.  I assume you will need the world map instead of the US.  And be sure to use the UNPROJECTED lat and long."   Was more of what I am looking for but again just in a World Map.      ...

I see. I have researched that but again it's just the US. Could you possible show me the code? And if I can give you my data set and main data step (where the geo locations will be coming from) and have you possible run it to show me that it works that would be great.   At school we have the full SAS software but at my home I only have the SAS University.   Thanks. ...
