Using Spatial Data with SAS/GIS Software |
File Reference Table lists the reserved filerefs for each of the different import types, a brief description of the file, and whether the fileref is required or optional when using that import type. For example, to import a Digital Line Graph file, you must allocate the file with a fileref of DLGIN.
Note: This information can also be found in the SASHELP.GISIMP
data set. See The SASHELP.GISIMP Data Set
for more information.
IMP_TYPE Value | Fileref | File Description | Status |
---|---|---|---|
TIGER | TIGER1 |
TIGER basic data record | Required |
TIGER2 |
TIGER shape coordinate points | Required | |
TIGER4 |
TIGER index to alternate feature names | Optional | |
TIGER5 |
TIGER feature name list | Optional | |
TIGER6 |
TIGER additional address and ZIP code | Optional | |
DYNAMAP | GDT1 | Dynamap basic data record | Required |
GDT2 | Dynamap shape coordinate points | Required | |
GDT4 | Dynamap index to alternate feature names | Optional | |
GDT5 | Dynamap feature name list | Optional | |
GDT6 | Dynamap additional address and ZIPcode data | Optional | |
DLG | DLGIN | Digital Line Graph file | Required |
DXF | DXFIN | DXF file | Required |
ARC | ARCIN | Uncompressed ARC/INFO e00 transport file | Required |
MAPINFO | MIF | MapInfo Interchange Format MIF file | Required |
MID | MapInfo Interchange Format MID file | Required |
For the SASGRAPH and Generic import types, which require that the spatial data be stored in a SAS data set, do not allocate a reserved fileref to indicate the location of the data set. Instead, assign the name of the SAS data set to the INFILE macro variable.
