I am getting an error message in the proc format with some symbols -

"This range is repeated, or values overlap: "

I was presttey sure that there are no repeats of variables with "by" statement, How to overcome this issue.

thanks in advance,

Can you post some data as to how your proc format is defined?

Try use opition "multilabel"  in the Value statement.

for example

proc format;

value $gender  (multilabel)

'1'='Male'

'2'='Female'

'1','2',' '='Total people';

Astounding
PROC Star

If SAS is telling you that there is an overlap, then there really is an overlap.  Plain and simple.  You just haven't found it yet.  Here are some cases to look for.

Ranges can overlap:

1-10='Low'  8-15='Medium';

Values can be repeated:

'M' = 'Male'

'M' = 'Male'

You'll find at least one of these somewhere, even if it's part of a range that uses LOW or HIGH.

Good luck.
