Hello, there. It has been many years since you raised the question. I wonder if that problem has been solved right now. I am also building a logistic regression model and has been working on the issue of misclassification error for some time. As SAS Help shows, the formula of misclassification rate is .

In SAS Help, it is stated that an observation is classified into the level with the largest probability.
For instance, suppose the dependent variable has two levels, 0 and 1. If P(Y=1) (posterior probability) of an observation is not smaller than P(Y=0) (posterior probability), then SAS deems that according to the model, the event coded by Y=1 happens to the observation; and vice versa.
