Use next code to list a format or formats:

proc format lib=work;   /* or any other library */
   select agefmt;  /* enter one or more format names separated by space */
run;

In case of char type format name is preceded by $.

[Kurt_Bremser]

USE THE </> BUTTON FOR POSTING LOGS!

In the SELECT statement, do not use a trailing dot for the format name.

[Tom]

The SELECT statement just wants the NAMES of the formats to select. It does not what you to enter a full format specification. Remove the period.
