Using Spatial Data with SAS/GIS Software

Using Batch Geocoding

Using the batch geocoding facility is a two-step process:

  1. Use the %GCBATCH macro to assign values to the macro variables that control the geocoding process. See %GCBATCH Macro Syntax for more information.

  2. Call the SCL program to perform batch geocoding, SASHELP.GIS.GEOCODEB.SCL. In a SAS program, you can use the DM statement to issue an AF command to execute the SCL, as follows:
    dm 'af c=sashelp.gis.geocodeb.scl; run;';

    Note:   If you are invoking SCL from your own frame application, you must use CALL display, for example, call display('sashelp.gis.geocodeb.scl'), instead of the DM command.  [cautionend]
