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.
