As @LinusH mentioned, it is just a matter of getting your ranges right, something like

proc format;
picture ph_y 
  2000-9999="9999)" (prefix="(")
  1000000000-9999999999="999-999-9999"
  1000000-9999999="999-9999"
;
run;

I have that data...from that i need to get data like this...
 
373-373-8368
        273-8478
               (6367)
 
 
 
I have created a format and applied it on the particular variable but i got this
 
 
3733738368
       2738478
            (6367)
 
 
Picture format applied for only 4 digit value..but i need to apply the format for all observations having different digits...
 
That also we can try using substr function...but i don't know why this picture format is not correctly applying on that variable.

You only defined a range in the first format picture, add 1000000000- and 1000000- respectively will solve your problem.

No I'm telling you that you can, but you need to fix your picture format.
You need to use intervals for all three cases, the first one works since it has a correct interval.
St this point the other two is only valid for no 9999999999 and 9999999, which of course most phone no doesn't match.
