I am having a dataset with values yes/no. I want to use proc format to replace yes with 1 and no with 0.
The dataset is attached for reference.
To create a format for a character variable, the format name must begin with $:
value $fmt 'No'='0' 'Yes'='1';
Alternatively, you could create an informat using INVALUE instead of VALUE.
So what is your problem?
What have you tried?
proc format;
value fmt 'No'= 0 'Yes'= 1;
run;
I am getting the error :
Please reply. I am stuck
