Any one have any idea how to access the codebook store in SAS? Trying to format state based on codebook named state_cd but have not able to locate it anywhere. Any suggest will be appreciate!
Oh, they want you to define a format from a dataset.
See this example:
Creating a Format from a CNTLIN= Data Set
You need to modify your dataset so that it contains the following variables:
fmtname name of your format
type C or N for character or numeric
start values to be formatted
label target values to be displayed
hlo character variable set to 'O' for the observation containing the "other" value
A google search for "codebook store" does not turn up anything helpful (for me). Could you elaborate what you mean by this term?
Yes, i have the same questions. Part of a current program i am working on ask me to define a value format based on the codebook stored in the SAS data set state_cd. Where i have been stuck on here for over a day. But none of the search show up anything related to this data set that store in SAS.

Thank you, i think i did not make it clear but i figure it out. It seems like i need to create a format based on a codebook, but the file need to be downloaded and then being reference during program.
