GMAP Procedure

Using Formats for Traditional Map Data Set Variables

You can specify an output map area name or numeric value using one of the predefined formats for maps. The following prefixes are used in the names of the formats for maps:
CONT
Continent
CNTRY
Country
GLC
Geographic Location Code, distributed by Government Services Administration, USA
ISO
International Standard Organization
The formats for maps are located in the SASHELP.MAPFMTS catalog. See the MAPS.NAMES table to view all the continent and country names and corresponding GLC, ISO, and numeric representation for the continent values.
To use one of the formats for maps, you must specify the SASHELP.MAPFMTS catalog on the FMTSEARCH= option on a SAS OPTIONS statement: 
options fmtsearch=(sashelp.mapfmts);
In addition to using the PUT statement (as shown in the examples in the following table), the formats can also be invoked using a FORMAT statement.
Note: If the input to a format is invalid, the format is “**” or “***” .
