In the following example, the STATES.DBF file contains the identification
information (field-identifier names and values) applied to the U.S. states
polygon map. Only the STATE_FIPS (the state FIPS codes), STATE_NAME (the state
names), and STATE_ABBR (the two letter state abbreviations) variables are
included in the traditional map data set, MYDATA. STATE_FIPS is renamed FIPS,
STATE_NAME is renamed STATE, and STATE_ABBR is renamed ABBREV in the MYDATA
map data set.
PROC MAPIMPORT OUT=mydata DATAFILE="C:\states.dbf";
SELECT STATE_FIPS STATE_NAME STATE_ABBR;
RENAME STATE_FIPS=FIPS STATE_NAME=STATE STATE_ABBR=ABBREV;
run;
