Proc format for negative numbers

[starz4ever2007]

Dataset:

subj   score

1          -5.3

2          -3.4

3           1.6

4           0.4

5          -6.4

6           0

How would I make a new variable (score 2) where all negative values are now missing (.)?

data testSet;
   input subj score;
   datalines;
1 -5.3
2 -3.4
3 1.6
4 0.4
5 -6.4
6 0
;

proc format;
    value formatName low-<0 = .
          other = [7.2];
run;

proc sql;
    select subj
          ,score format formatName.
    from testSet;
quit;

If you want to recode it, use an IF condition instead.

IF score<0 then score=.;
