We can't help if we don't see entire log printout. Also from the proc.

Run the following:

options fmtsearch = (FMT);

proc catalog c=FMT.formats; contents; run;quit;

data _null_;
  ASD_orig = "test";
  APR_name_orig=put(ASD_orig, $APR_NM.);
run;

and share the log. BTW. proc catalog ends with "QUIT;"

Generic idea is to use Proc Format to point to the location and use CNTLOUT option to create a data set.

That would require a libname where the format catalog resides

 

The basic code would look like

Proc format library=YOURLIB cntlout=yourdatasetgoeshere;
run;

Caution: Catalogs can be a bit version specific, SAS release and operating system, but if proc contents isn't complaining then you may be good to go.
