Syntax

Syntax Description

On the command line or in a configuration file, the syntax is specific to your operating environment. For more information, see the SAS documentation for your operating environment.

location-of-maps
specifies either a physical path, an environment variable, or the MAPSGFK libref to locate the SAS/GRAPH digital vector map data sets. The option value can consist of up to 2048 characters. Upper or lower case characters are accepted as entered. Though not required, if you specify start and end quotes or parentheses, these are accepted and retained as part of the option’s value.
Default:None
Notes:The configuration file at installation time sets the MAPSGFK= option value to a physical name (path). The physical name of MAPSGFK= should not be reassigned. However, to use the MAPSGFK digital vector map data with your existing programs, issue either the APPEND= System Option in SAS System Options: Reference or the INSERT= System Option in SAS System Options: Reference system option in conjunction with the MAPS= system option. The APPEND= system option adds a new value to the end of the current value of the MAPS= system option. The INSERT= system option adds a new value as the first value of the MAPS= system option.

If you specify an environment variable for the option value, it is not expanded.
