proc format error

ssbeta — Tue, 13 Feb 2018 01:06:00 GMT

I am trying to create a format for a variable cl with particular values but SAS gives me the following error:

Expecting a ' , '

Here is my code:

proc format;

value cl 1-2 = 'high'

3-4-5 = 'medium'

6-7 = 'low'

;

run;

proc format;
value cl 1-2 = 'high'
             3-5 = 'medium'
             6-7 = 'low'
;
run;

Either list the individual values separated by commas.

value cl 1,2 = 'high'  3,4,5 = 'medium' 6,7 = 'low' ;

Or use hyphens to specify ranges

value cl 1-2 = 'high'  3-5 = 'medium' 6-7 = 'low' ;

Hi,

you can try

proc format;

picture 1-2 = 'High'

3-5='Medium'

6-7='Low';

run;
