     Your map data sets might be compressed.  This is done by default (at
     least in the Windows version of SAS) to save space since some of the
     data sets are quite large.  To decompress one or more use the utility
     that sas provides.  On the command line enter:
 
        af c=sashelp.sasmaps.maps.program

Hi all,
 
I am trying to do the single simplest thing with PROC GMAP: Display the map
of the US, but I seem to be too stupid or too blocked.
 
 
proc gmap data=maps.us map=maps.us;
id state id;
run;
 
I get this error message
 
39   proc gmap data=maps.us map=maps.us;
40   id state id;
ERROR: Variable STATE not found.
ERROR: Variable ID not found.
NOTE: The previous statement has been deleted.
41   run;
 
SAS seems to find the maps.us data set, but finds no variables named ID
STATE, while the manual says these should be there. What is wrong?
 
Hans-Peter
