What’s New in SAS/GIS 9.4

Overview

There is an important new import capability in SAS/GIS 9.4. You can now import TIGER shapefiles (.shp) that fall in the date range of 2007 to the present. This import function can be run interactively or programmatically. The import method for TIGER/Line record type (RT format) files created prior to 2007 remains intact.

Changes to Importing TIGER Data

SAS/GIS, through the GIS Spatial Data Importing window, allows the interactive import of spatial data in the Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) format. The import capability covered any spatial data in the RT format created prior to 2007. With the release of 9.4, the import capability of SAS/GIS is expanded to include the TIGER shapefile (.shp) file format that was created starting in the year 2007. You have the option of importing any shapefile either programmatically or interactively through the GIS Spatial Data Importing window.
