I have .sas7bcat format catalog. when i run the proc catalog the output is as below.
output:
I want to make it to .sas7bdat and what to see the data inside how can i do that?
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.
