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;
