Any data can be used
as lookup data with the CUSTOM method of geocoding. The only requirement
is that you have at least three variables. The variables must be the
projected or unprojected coordinate values (X and Y or LAT and LONG),
and include a key variable to look up.
You can specify that
non-geocoding variables such as COUNTY, TIME ZONE, and AREA CODE from
the lookup data set be added to the output data set. Do this by using
the ATTRIBUTEVAR= option in the PROC GEOCODE statement.
