You have a couple of problems with your code. I presume you used a libname statement to specify the Preeti library, but you never used the fmtsearch option to tell SAS that is where your formats exist.

Plus, you included that libname in one of your assignment statements, which you should not have done. i.e., you used:

format preeti.hlthfood hlthfood.;

when you should have used:

format hlthfood hlthfood.;

You also specified some formats that you never created, like custid.

I didn't correct all of those errors, but the following should be enough for you to correct (i.e., delete the unassigned format declarations):

libname Preeti '/folders/myfolders';
proc format lib=Preeti;
value hlthfood
0='No'
1='Yes';
value size
1='Small'
2='Medium'
3='Large';
value org
1='Emphasizes produce'
2='Emphasizes deli'
3='Emphasizes bakery'
4='No emphasis';
value gender
0='Male'
1='Female';
value shopfor
1='Self'
2='Self and spouse'
3='Self and family';
value veg
0='No'
1='Yes';
value style
1='Biweekly' and 'in bulk'
2='Weekly' and 'similar items'
3='Often' and 'whats on sale';
value usecoup
1='No'
2='From newspaper'
3='From mailings'
4='From both';
value carry
0='First period'
1='No coupon'
2='5 percent'
3='15 percent'
4='25 percent';
Value coupval
1='No value'
2='5 percent'
3='15 percent'
4='25 percent'
run;

data Preeti.grocery_coupons;
  input hlthfood size org custid gender shopfor veg
    style usecoup week seq carry coupval amtspent;
  cards;
0 1 2 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

;

data preeti.grocery_coupons1;
