Syntax error in proc format with value statement

[Ronein]

Hello

There is an error in this code that create format.

What is the way to solve it?

proc format;
value Fmt
-999='(a) A=0 AND B not 0'
-888='(b) A=0 AND B=0'
-777='(c)  B=0 AND A not 0'
0='(d) A>0 AND B=0'
0<-25='(e1) Ratio till 25%'
25<-50='(e2) 25%<Ratio<=50%'
50<-75='(e3) 50%<Ratio<=75%'
75<-85='(e4) 75%<Ratio<=85%'
85<-95='(e5) 85%<Ratio<=95%'
95<100='(e6) 95%<Ratio<100%'
100='(e7) Ratio=100%'
100<-105='(f1) 100%<Ratio<=105%'
105<-115='(f2) 105%<Ratio<=115%'
115<-125='(f3) 115%<Ratio<=125%'
125<-150='(f4) 125%<Ratio<=150%'
150<-HIGH='(f5) 150%+'
other='(g) Negative Ratio'
;
Run;

It’s just missing a dash as used in your other lines.
If you want to include 100 don’t use the angle bracket.

[Ronein]

95<100='(e6) 95%<Ratio<100%'
100='(e7) Ratio=100%'

I want that 100 will be a separate group

I want that group 95<100 will be between 95(not included) and 100 (not included)

[Patrick]

95<-100
Add the dash!

Below your format fixed BUT it will likely not return what you're after. Just try with a few values like 100. The format definition will likely some amendment to return the desired label for a specific value.

proc format;
  value Fmt
    -999      ='(a) A=0 AND B not 0'
    -888      ='(b) A=0 AND B=0'
    -777      ='(c)  B=0 AND A not 0'
    0         ='(d) A>0 AND B=0'
    0<-25     ='(e1) Ratio till 25%'
    25<-50    ='(e2) 25%<Ratio<=50%'
    50<-75    ='(e3) 50%<Ratio<=75%'
    75<-85    ='(e4) 75%<Ratio<=85%'
    85<-95    ='(e5) 85%<Ratio<=95%'
    95<-100   ='(e6) 95%<Ratio<100%'
    100       ='(e7) Ratio=100%'
    100<-105  ='(f1) 100%<Ratio<=105%'
    105<-115  ='(f2) 105%<Ratio<=115%'
    115<-125  ='(f3) 115%<Ratio<=125%'
    125<-150  ='(f4) 125%<Ratio<=150%'
    150<-HIGH ='(f5) 150%+'
    other     ='(g) Negative Ratio'
  ;
Run;

Given your label I assume what you really want is for values around 100 (haven't checked the rest):

    95<-<100   ='(e6) 95%<Ratio<100%'
    100       ='(e7) Ratio=100%'
    100<-105  ='(f1) 100%<Ratio<=105%'

[Ronein]

Thanks,

However I don't understand something.

There are 2 groups that 100 is included in their definition

In the group defined by 95<-100 I see dash next to 100.Does it mean that 100 is included?

95<-100='(e6) 95%<Ratio<100%'
100='(e7) Ratio=100%'

[Kurt_Bremser]

Hint:

Angular brackets are used to exclude the end values from the range. They can appear on both sides of the dash.

[Patrick]

@Ronein I believe what you're really after is what I shared already.

    95<-<100   ='(e6) 95%<Ratio<100%'
    100       ='(e7) Ratio=100%'
    100<-105  ='(f1) 100%<Ratio<=105%

If not 100% if things work as desired then it's also always a good idea to mock-up some sample data for testing. Like 3 rows with values 99, 100, 101 and then test how the formatted values look like.
