Hi Team,

 

I need to change color or make bold to character variable using proc format.

Please find below the code used.


data dsn;
length State County Community $10.;
input State $10.
County $9.
Community $8.
flag 2.
;
datalines;
California Calveras Wallace 1
;
run;


proc format cntlout=colormodel(keep=fmtname start end label type sexcl eexcl);
value $State 'California' = "fontWeight:bold;";
value flag 1 = "";
run;

data colormodel(drop=T);
set colormodel(rename=(TYPE=T));
length TYPE $32;
if FMTNAME eq 'STATE' then TYPE = 'flag';
else TYPE = 't';
run;

 

data colormodel;
format state $state.;
set dsn;
run;

 

Thanks,

Text decoration is only possible in reporting procedures. There are numerous papers explaning anything relevant in detail.

That's not how proc format works. It acts as a recoding procedure with the rules being the input. 

Style such as colour and font are not valid in a SAS dataset. 

 

So what are you trying to do?
