Hi Gurus
I'm working with user-defined format, and need to change a stored user-defined format $nykrpak.
It have been stored for some time ago and I don't have the documentation or sas program that created it in the first place.
Instead of creating a new format, I want to change the existing.
Please recommend how to view and maintain a stored user-defined format.
Thanks.
Ole
Use proc format with cntlout -option to save the format definition to a dataset, than modify the dataset an use proc format with cntlin to update the format definition. Having a backup of the catalog is recommended.
proc format cntlout=work.format_def;
select $nypark;
run;
/* update dataset work.format_def */
proc format cntlin=work.format_def;
run;
