Don't write in ALL CAPS, it's shouting. 

 

You need to clarify your question. 

 

Formats are used to control the display of information, so by 'adding' a format do you mean creating a new format or applying a format to a variable. 

 

An example of applying a format is straightforward, and involves the format statement. 

 

Data stocks;
Set sashelp.stocks;

Format date worddate.;

Run;

Proc print data = stocks (obs=5) labels noobs;
Run;

You can't create a new format without proc format, in some manner.
