When I try to store a format in a lib other than WORK, I get this message:
proc format lib=sasusrmy;
ERROR: File SASUSRMY.FORMATS.CATALOG was created for a different operating system.
Is there already a formats catalog in that folder that you may have copied from somewhere?
There is no formats catalog or any other catalog under my libname SASUSRMY.
Thanks.
Arthur.

I am sorry when I looked at the folder to which the libref SASUSRMY points, I did find an old formats catalog sitting there. So, the formats are now created after I deleted that old formats catalog:
56 proc format lib=sasusrmy.formats;
57 value $sex
58 "F"="Female"
59 "M"="Male"
60 ;
NOTE: Format $SEX has been written to SASUSRMY.FORMATS.
run;
I am grateful to you for your perception in quickly identifying the problem; kudos to you!!
However, the problem that remains now is this: the catalog 'formats' is created but does not appear listed under the libname 'SASUSRMY'.
How can this problem be overcome?
