Thanks RW9. However, I only know to make dataset for character formats (and somewhat for numeric).  Can you give me an example of dataset (or raw text file) having formats for group of ranges.  For this please give me the codes, use the following formats:   proc format library=myfmts; value $gender 'M'='Male' 'F'='Female' ' '='Not entered' other='Miscoded'; value age low-29='Less than 30' 30-50='30 to 50' 51-high='51+'; value $likert '1'='Strongly disagree' '2'='Disagree' '3'='No opinion' '4'='Agree' '5'='Strongly agree'; value $likert_new '1'-'3' = 'Agree' '4','5' = 'Disagree'; run; Thanks in Advance, ...

Besides this can we print variable names as well?   Note: However, for csv files I am able to get one observation per line by using:  file "/folders/myfolders/someFile2.csv" dsd; ... View more
