Hi All, I am brand new to PROC GMAP. I am using the following tutorial to practice: http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/sugi29/251-29.pdf I am stuck on example 5 using proc format to generate discrete areas on the map. I copied the provided code and ran in SAS 9.4, but it does not seem to provide colors. Even when I tried to use different colors (like red, green, gray, blue), the whole map has a single color (red). I don't know if I am doing anything wrong or if it is the version of the SAS I am using (9.4). * example 5
* create a format to group observations (counties) based on the population;
proc format;
value pop2000_
5379 - 51134 = '5,379 - 51,134'
51401 - 91070 = '51,401 - 91,070'
93765 - 235469 = '93,765 - 235,469'
280150 - 2465326 = '280,150 - 2,465,326'
;
run;

quit; I've also tried using the default settings, but it has not resolved the single-color map that SAS keeps generating. I am sure there is an easy solution... I would appreciate your help. Doris
