Hi, I have this lookup table (range), which I intend to use as a format for another table (have).
data range;
input low high desc $8.;
cards;
-999999 1 Low
2 3 Medium
4 999999 High
;
run;
data have;
input num;
cards;
-1
0
5
;
run;
I'd also prefer for the low range, to include all values <= 1, and the high range to include all values > 4.
How is this possible?
Here are changes to make, for this to be suitable for creating a format:
data range;
input start end label $8.;
if label='Low' then HLO='L';
else if label='High' then HLO='H';
fmtname='Range';
cards;
-999999 1 Low
2 3 Medium
4 999999 High
;
Then you can create a format using:
proc format cntlin=range;
run;
And you can use the format when processing HAVE, by adding:
format num range.;
A few notes:
You can use LOW and HIGH to represent below and above respectively, as this code demonstrates:
proc format cntlout=temp; value test low-1=23 2-5=45 6-high=99; run;
The dataset temp will show the output.
