Can someone explain what is the difference between these two messages in SAS log?
ERROR 48-59: The format XXX was not found or could not be loaded.
NOTE 484-185: Format XXX was not found or could not be loaded.
You have given us no context. We need to see the log that contains these messages (including the code as it appears in the log, plus all ERRORs, WARNINGs and NOTEs)
The first one is fatal, so the code can't run. The second one is a notification that the code will not work as expected.
That reflects a different setting for the FMTERR system option.
208 options fmterr; 209 data x; 210 format x nosuch.; ------- 48 ERROR 48-59: The format NOSUCH was not found or could not be loaded. 211 run; NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors. WARNING: The data set WORK.X may be incomplete. When this step was stopped there were 0 observations and 1 variables.
