Hello Everyone,

So I have the following data set that I need to create a format from which is called orion.continent:

                  Continent_

           Obs        ID        Continent_Name

            1         91        North America

            2         93        Europe

            3         94        Africa

            4         95        Asia

            5         96        Australia/Pacific


I used the following code in order to create the continent format:


data continent;

  keep Start Label FmtName;

  retain FmtName 'Continent' ;

  set orion.continent (rename=(Continent_ID=Start Continent_Name=Label));

  run;

proc format library=orion.myfmts cntlin=continent;

run;

proc format library=orion.myfmts fmtlib;

run;

Then my assignment calls for me to run this code and it should run without errors:

data countries;

   set orion.country;

   Continent_Name=put(Continent_ID, Continent.);

run;

proc print data=Countries(obs=10);

   title 'Continent Names';

run;

This is the error that I am continuously getting:

307  data countries;

308     set orion.country;

309     Continent_Name=put(Continent_ID,Continent.);

                                                                     ----------

                                                                     48

ERROR 48-59: The format CONTINENT was not found or could not be loaded.

310  run;

So I am not sure if I am coding this incorrectly or if the code that my assignment has put is incorrect.

Could someone please let me know where this is going wrong?

Thanks,

Alisa

Figured it out. Needed to insert:

options fmterr fmtsearch=(orion orion.myfmts);

before my code in order to get this to work.
