SAS/GRAPH 9.3_M2

In August 2012, SAS shipped the second maintenance release for SAS 9.3 (SAS 9.3, Rev. 930_12w35). For a list of the issues addressed in this maintenance release, see http://support.sas.com/techsup/reports/maintSAS93/SAS93_TS1M2_issues_addressed.html and search for SAS/GRAPH.
In addition, there are now three predefined librefs for libraries that contain map data sets:
MAPS
points to updated versions of the traditional map data sets that are provided by SAS, just as in the past. This libref existed prior to the second maintenance release for SAS 9.3.
MAPSSAS
points to the same updated map data sets as the MAPS libref. This libref is new in the second maintenance release for SAS 9.3.
MAPSGFK
points to map data sets based on the digital maps from GfK GeoMarketing, the single source for this map data. These data sets are covered by the GfK GeoMarketing copyright. See http://support.sas.com/mapsonline/gfklicense. This libref is also new in the second maintenance release for SAS 9.3.
These new single-source data sets ensure that the map data is accurate and uniform for the entire world. Additional map data obtained from GfK GeoMarketing GmbH matches up seamlessly with SAS/GRAPH map data. GfK GeoMarketing GmbH is solely responsible for all updates and changes to their map data. This includes political boundary updates which were up to this time hard to obtain. SAS offers the ability to download the updates to map data via SAS Maps Online (http://support.sas.com/rnd/datavisualization/mapsonline/html/downloads.html).
Note: Using the GfK map data sets with an existing application that currently uses the traditional map data sets requires modification to the application. Without these modifications, using the GfK map data could cause unexpected results. For more information to aid in modifying existing applications, see Differences between GfK and Traditional Map Data Sets in SAS/GRAPH: Reference.
You can redefine the MAPS libref to point to GfK map data sets by using the MAPS= system option. For more information, see MAPS= System Option in SAS/GRAPH: Reference.
Note: The digital vector map data sets for MAPSGFK require an increased allotment of disk space. For more information, see System Requirements for SAS 9.3 Foundation for Windows at http://support.sas.com/documentation/installcenter/en/ikfdtnwinsr/64429/PDF/default/sreq.pdf.
