Hi all,
I've got lots of help here. Here is another question I come across.
I have a character variable agegrp with values of "01", "02", "03", "04", "05", and "06". The value labels are 01: younger than 8, 02: age 9-12, 03: age 13-17, 04-06: adults.
To do proc format for the variable, is there a quick way to do 04-06? Here is how I started:
proc format;
value $agegrp
"01"="younger than 8"
"02"="age 9-12"
"03"="age 13-17"
"04"="adult"
"05"="adult"
"06"="adult";
run;
Thanks a lot.
Not sure what you are asking. Are you just looking for how to declare a range? If so,:
proc format;
value $agegrp
"01"="younger than 8"
"02"="age 9-12"
"03"="age 13-17"
"04"-"06"="adult";
run;

Be very wary of defining ranges for character formats. I would prefer to see a list of values:
"04", "05", "06" = "adult"
If you define a range, here are some values that would fall into the "adult" classification:
"0500"
"04C"
That doesn't save you much on the typing so you have to decide if it's worth the trouble.
Good luck.
I think I overthought. I did "04"--"06"="adult" at the beginning. Thanks a lot.
