Hi everyone, 

I just switched over to a Mac, and I can't access desktop SAS until I get Parallels and a new SAS license from my university. Until then, I'm using SAS OnDemand. 

 

Anyway, I am noticing an issue.  I am able to call in my format library in desktop SAS with the same lines of code, but it is not working in SAS OnDemand.  Whenever I run a proc freq, the unformatted values are showing. 

 

This is my code: 

libname data "/home/sabajamin0/Chat3";

*format library; 
libname in "/home/sabajamin0/Chat3/Formats";
libname library "/home/sabajamin0/Chat3/Formats";

data analytic; 
set data.analytic; 
run; quit; 

proc freq data=analytic; 
table b2gender/missing; 
run; quit; 

This code runs smoothly in desktop SAS with the appropriate formatting. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

Where did you apply the format on the data?
Is it on the data.analytic data already? If so, can you show a proc contents to confirm that?
