Formats

[deleted_user]

Is there anything incorrect about the following statement ? I am not getting the desired results.
CC = PUT(LEFT(PUT(DIAG,8.)),$&FMNAME..)

I get an error like below.
Line generated by the macro variable "FMNAME".
$I1208YB
--------
48
ERROR 48-59: The format $I1208YB was not found or could not be loaded.

Earlier on in the program I have :
NOTE: Entry I1208YB.FORMATC has been imported.
NOTE: Total number of entries processed in catalog OUT.FORMATS: 1

Suggest you share more code, specifically the format import step. But before that, consider that your format must be in the FMTSEARCH= catalog search list for SAS to find the format. Use SAS PROC OPTIONS to learn your current FMTSEARCH option, and either load/import your format to WORK.FORMATS catalog or add your personal format library content to the FMTSEARCH search order.
