Creating user-defined informat from SAS dataset

Hi all,

I am trying to create USER-DEFINED INFORMATS from SAS datasets.

But I am getting below error.

Please can you fix this issue.

Regards,

Anvesh

Please post data in usable form. Pictures are NOT usable.

Post your dataset in a data step with datalines, so we can recreate your dataset with a simple copy/paste and submit.

Post the code into a window opened with the "little running man" button right next to the one indicated here:

You do not try to create an informat, you create a numeric format (type = "N").

Try this instead:

data cntlin;
set ord1;
fmtname = "ord";
type = "I";
start = strip(param);
label = ord;
run;

proc format cntlin=cntlin;
run;

Untested; for tested code, supply data as mentioned above.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

The code worked.

Thank you.
