My results are saying there are 0 observations and my formats are not found

LIBNAME Mydata "C:\Users\tisha\Downloads\NSCH2019_SAS_CAHMI_DRC";

Proc logistic data = Nsch.Nsch2019;
class SC_AGE_YEARS (ref = '1')/ param = ref;
model nom25ForgoneHC_19 = SC_AGE_YEARS /link = logit;
run;

Shown in the results there are observations and variables available but when I run my code the only thing that come available is the variables. Also, I am changing my variables within the dataset from categorical to numerical but it seem to not be able to find my formats

The first error you get is:

Don't even look further before you haven't fixed this one. It looks like your SAS profile is corrupted.

If this is a personal installation then terminate your SAS session, go to the folder libref SASUSER points to, backup the folder, delete all its content and then try again running your SAS code.

If this is not your personal installation then contact your SAS administrator.

Without even opening your log:

Data Mydata;
Set Mydata.Nsch2019;
Run;

INSTY = InsType_19*1;
FORGON = nom25ForgoneHC_19*1;
SC_AGE_YEARS_L = SC_AGE_YEARS*1;
SC_SEX_L = SC_Sex*1;
SC_HISPANIC_R_L = SC_HISPANIC_R*1;
SC_RACE_R_L = SC_RACE_R*1;
FPL_I1_L = FPL_I1*1;
EDUCFO = AdultEduc_19*1;
INSURAN = npm15AdIns_19*1;
SYSTCAR = SystCare2_19*1;
NOGAP = InsGap_19*1;
run;

The highlighted RUN will cause errors for the next assignment statements because you have ended the Data step and the next statements until the "run" do not have a procedure or data step to be associated with. So your Mydata set only copied the Mydata.Nsc2019 data set and had none of the transformations or variable creations applied.

If all of those *1 are to create numeric variables strongly suggest using the INPUT function instead to avoid all the "character values were converted to numeric" notes in the log. For an example:

INSTY = input (InsType_19, f12.);

I got that fixed by technical support now I am trying to figure out why the variables and observations still cannot be found unfortunately.

You are missing all the necessary formats for your variables. Check with the source how you can obtain those formats.
