I have few raw values which has % are included (see code:) , now when I try to change format using user define formats I am having warning really not want to see any thing in log if possible. Do we have any way ( I Dont want to compress and take that out if possible ).
Here, SAS assumes that I have used a macro symbol. How to rid of this warning ? Please help if you have any idea.
Use single quotes to prevent macro resolution:
proc format;
value $newval
'Auto(%excl)' = 'Auto- Excluded (%)'
'Miles' = 'MILES'
other = ' '
;
run;
