Please explain what you are looking for with a short example. Off the top of my head, I don't think a CV is meaningful for a categorical variable. It is for various categories that comprise a continuous variable.

Maybe @Rick_SAS could have some clue .

PROC SURVEYFREQ provides CVs of proportions (percentages) for categorical data. Some documentation is here: the CV option and Coefficient of Variation.
