Is it possible to create a format mapping multiple inputs to one label
e.g. value odds 1,3,5 = 'ODD'
using an input dataset and CNTLIN ?
Yes, but you need a separate observation for each value being mapped ... along the lines of:
label='ODD';
do start=1, 3, 5; output; end;
data cntlin;
type = 'N';
fmtname = 'myfmt';
length label $8;
label = 'Odd';
do i = 1 to 5 by 2;
start = put(i,8.);
output;
end;
start = 'other';
label = 'Even';
output;
run;
Try this.
