I am trying to create a format for a variable cl with particular values but SAS gives me the following error:

Expecting a ' , '

 

Here is my code:

 

proc format;

value cl 1-2 = 'high'

             3-4-5 = 'medium'

             6-7 = 'low'

;

run;

;
run;

Either list the individual values separated by commas.

value cl 1,2 = 'high'  3,4,5 = 'medium' 6,7 = 'low' ;

Or use hyphens to specify ranges

value cl 1-2 = 'high'  3-5 = 'medium' 6-7 = 'low' ;

Hi,

 

you can try 

 

 

proc format;

picture 1-2 = 'High'

          3-5='Medium'

          6-7='Low';

run;
