Managing Custom Formats
Using FMTLIB with PROC FORMAT to Document Formats
When you have created a large number of permanent formats,
it can be easy to forget the exact spelling of a specific format name
or its range of values. Remember that adding the keyword FMTLIB to
the PROC FORMAT statement displays a list of all the formats in the
specified catalog, along with descriptions of their values.
libname myfmts 'c:\sas\newfmt';
proc format lib=myfmts fmtlib;
run; You can also use the SELECT and EXCLUDE statements to
process specific formats rather than an entire catalog.
