Subject:      Re: Formats for FIPS codes

Susanne,
 
Are you familiar with the ZIPFIPS function?  Granted, it isn't a format,
but it will convert a five-character zipcode to its corresponding FIPS
code:
 
For example:
 
7    data _null_;
8
9    zipfip=zipfips('32207');
10   put zipfip=;
11   run;
 
ZIPFIP=12
NOTE: The DATA statement used 0.17 seconds.
Sincerely,
David West <davidawest@worldnet.att.net>
