I know there has to be a simple solution here. It prints out everything I want except for the values. 

proc format;
value id = 'ID';
value Diagnosis 0 = 'n/a' 
				1 = 'LTBI'
    			2 = 'ACTIVE' 
				3 = 'NOT TB';
value PPD 		0 = 'n/a' 
				1= 'Positive' 
				2= 'Negative';
value CXR 		0 = 'n/a' 
				1 = 'WNL' 
				2 = 'Abnormal';
value Treatment 0 = 'n/a' 
				1 = 'Yes' 
				2 = 'No' 
				3 = 'Pending';
				run;
Data Notes;
input ID Diagnosis PPD CXR Treatment;
datalines;

The format-statement is misplaced, move it into proc print.

You can show the value as its meaning by using next formats:

proc format;
value id = 'ID';
value Diagnosis 0 = '(0) n/a' 
				1 = '(1) LTBI'
    			2 = '(2) ACTIVE' 
				3 = '(3) NOT TB';
value PPD 		0 = '(0) n/a' 
				1 = '(1) Positive' 
				2 = '(2) Negative';
value CXR 		0 = '(0) n/a' 
				1 = '(1) WNL' 
				2 = '(2) Abnormal';
value Treatment 0 = '(0) n/a' 
				1 = '(1) Yes' 
				2 = '(2) No' 
				3 = '(3) Pending';
run;

I thought I tried that before, but moving the format under under proc print was it! Thanks!
