Dear all, Suppose I've the following code.
PROC FORMAT;
VALUE $RESP
'1'="STRONGLY AGREE"
'2'="AGREE"
'3'="NEUTRAL"
'4'="DISAGREE"
'5'="STRONGLY DISAGREE" ;
RUN;
DATA SURVEY;
INFILE DATALINES;
INPUT ID $ (QUES1-QUES5)($1.);
DATALINES;
001 52344
002 53241
003 43255
004 55412
005 32514 ;
RUN;
How do I use the FORMAT statement in the DATA STEP for Ques1 to Ques5?
Regards Dennis K

DATA SURVEY;
INFILE DATALINES;
INPUT ID $ (QUES1-QUES5)($1.);
