A procedure for defining foramts and informats.

<<TableOfContents>>

----



== Usage ==

To define a custom format, try:

{{{
proc format;
    value NUM_f 1="One"
                2="Two";
    value $STR_f "1"="One"
                 "2"="Two";
run;
}}}

By convention, formats are usually named after the variable with a `_f` postfix. Note that formats have strict restrictions on names; they cannot end in a number.



=== InValue ===

To define an informat, use the '''`INVALUE`''' statement.
