[sas-users] County FIPS codes

[david.d.chapman at census.gov]

There are also some zip functions.  I know these function are in the SAS 
9.2 documentation.  It is not clear whether it is available earlier.

zipfips gives the fips code of the state of the zip
zipcity gives the name of the city name and state 
zipname gives the unpercase state name
zipnamel give the state name first letter uppercase and everything else 
lower case
zipstate give the two-character postal code.

Hi Nancy, 

I haven't used these personally, but they might be helpful: 
Base SAS software provides several functions that convert state names to 
FIPS codes and vice versa. The following table lists these functions and a 
brief description of each. See SAS Language Reference: Dictionary for more 
information. 
FIPS and Postal Code Functions

STFIPS

STNAME

STNAMEL

FIPNAME 
converts FIPS code to state name in upper case 
FIPNAMEL

Does anyone know if there is a FIPS function in SAS to use with the 
3-digit
county codes?  I thought there was but cannot find it in the 
documentation,
