Good morning,

��

A colleague of mine at a local university has a SAS/GIS challenge and I am hoping someone on this list might know the answer.�� She is creating a data processing program entirely in SAS.�� The data had addresses as well as Lat/Longs for the addresses.�� One of the criteria is that the data processing program should determine which Census tract the addresses fall into.�� She needs to do this in the program, joining the points to the tracts in GIS beforehand is not an option.�� I immediately thought of the Census API's geocoding function but I have no idea if SAS can access it, or anything else about SAS for that matter.

��

If anyone has any solutions, please feel free to e-mail me and I'll pass your message on.�� I can also put you in direct contact with my colleague if you want to discuss the problem in depth.

��

Thanks,

Mara
