I must be going blind: I can't find a way to turn off formats in SEG data view. Similar to the option to view variable names versus labels, can I toggle between formatted and unformatted display? I am looking at a list of 30 formatted numbers and want to use the WHERE filter in the data viewer but, to do that, I need to know the underlying number not the formatted name.
I am using SEG 7.1 in case that matters.
AFAIK, the SAS Viewtable windows always show the formatted values. But it is not so hard to define a format-less view:
proc format;
value $sex
"F" = "Female"
"M" = "Male"
;
run;
data class;
set sashelp.class;
format sex $sex.;
run;
data class2/view=class2;
set class;
format _all_;
run;
It is surely a good reason for a SAS Software Ballot idea.
Good news: We've extended SAS Hackathon registration until Sept. 12, so you still have time to be part of our biggest event yet – our five-year anniversary!
