Hi ,
I am getting an error ??? what should i do ?
You are trying to open a format within a format catalog, you can't do that by double clicking as there is no default open for formats. The easiest way is to send the formats to a dataset:
proc format library=work cntlout=work.myformats;
run;
This should give you a dataset call my formats you can open as normal.
Hi,
I am also getting an error
NO DEFAULT ACTION FOR THE FORMAT DATA TYPE.
Same answer as above, you can't open formats directly.
HI,
R 48-59: The format GENDER was not found or could not be loaded.

THIS IS MY CODE :

label hlthfood= "Health food store";
label org= "Store organization";
label custid= "Customer ID";
label gender= "Gender";
label shopfor= "Who shopping for";
label veg= "Vegetarian";
label style= "Shopping style";
label usecoup= "Use coupons";
label week= "Week";
label seq= "Sequence";
label carry= "Carryover";
label coupval= "Value of coupon";
label amtspent= "Amount spent";
format hlthfood Health_food_store.;
format size Size_of_store.;
format org Store_organization.;
format gender Gender.;
format shopfor Who_shopping_for.;
format veg Vegetarian.;
format usecoup Use_coupons.;
format carry Carryover.;
format coupval Value_of_coupon.;
format week Weekformat.;
run;
The data set BEN.GROCERY_1 may be incomplete. When this step was stopped there were 0
observations and 16 variables.
You can ignore the format erros - change them to notes- if you use:
options nofmterr;
