1 Paper 068- 2007 Creating a Format from Raw Data or a SAS Dataset Wendi L. Wright ABSTRACT This introductory level presentation demonstrates the creation of a Format from raw data or a SAS dataset using the CNTLIN= option in PROC Format . In order to create a Format from a SAS dataset, the SAS dataset must have a few required variables. This paper will explain how to construct this dataset and how to create character and numeric formats or informats within a dataset. Also, the CNTLOUT= option will be used in order to demonstrate how SAS stores formats internally. This knowledge can be used to help construct even more sophisticated formats using the CNTLIN option. THE PROC Format CNTLIN= OPTION The simplest way to create a Format from a dataset is to use the CNTLIN= option in PROC Format . PROC Format CNTLIN=fmtdataset; RUN; REQUIRED VARIABLES IN THE Format DATASET (FMTNAME, START, AND LABEL) There are three variables that are required in the formatting dataset.
