User defined formats can not be preloaded

To get the order in the report table, I defined the format with option NOTSORTED.

proc format library=fmt.catalog fmtlib ;

value $Cov_fmt (notsorted)

'$0'='$0'

'$50'= '$50'

run;

When I used it in the Proc Tabulate, it showed Warning" Cann't Preloaded "

proc tabulate data = Reqtd_Cov order = data ;

class requested_limit /preloadfmt;

class coverage_code state ;

format requested_limit $Cov_fmt.;

table (coverage_code='' )* (requested_limit='' ) all, state=''*n=''*f=comma6.0 ;* all*f=comma6.0; run ;

Could you help me check it whether or not I missed something?

Thanks in advance.

Your typed warning message appears to have one or more typos. Can you show the exact message that was in the SAS log. Then you can search support.sas.com for something relevant.

SASDocs:

Requirement:

PRELOADFMT has no effect unless you specify EXCLUSIVE, ORDER=DATA, or PRINTMISS and you assign formats to the class variables.

Note: If you specify PRELOADFMT without also specifying EXCLUSIVE, ORDER=DATA, or PRINTMISS, then SAS writes a warning message to the SAS log.

I don't see any of those specified in your code so you probably need to decide which option is best for your data and go from there is my guess.
