Create 2000-2010 block crosswalk data sets for MD, VA, and WV #3

Closed ptatian closed 6 years ago

Using the D:\DCData\Libraries\Census\Prog\2010\Blk_xwalk_2000_2010_dc.sas program as a model, create three new programs for creating three new data sets for MD, VA, and WV block crosswalks. (Note that there is no need to rerun the DC data, which was created earlier.)

The MD, VA, and WV source files have already been downloaded and saved to L:\Libraries\Census\Raw\2010. The source location has changed to https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/rel_blk_download.html; this info should be updated in the program header.

Since the Blk_xwalk_2000_2010_dc.sas program was written for the old DCData system, the %include statement needs to be updated to the current version.

The _%Fileinfo() and proc print lines at the bottom of the program should be deleted and replaced with a call to the _%Finalize_dataset() macro. This also means that the earlier data step needs to be changed to create a temporary, rather than permanent, data set.
