Creates user-defined formats and informats.
z/OS specifics: |
LIBRARY= option in the PROC FORMAT statement
|
To
create a new format, specify a valid libref as the value of the LIBREF= option.
Specifying a valid libref creates a new format in the SAS 9 style in the FORMATS
catalog. The FORMATS catalog is stored in the SAS library that is identified
by the LIBRARY= option.
Beginning with SAS 9, you can no longer write Version
5 formats to a load library by using a ddname as the value of the LIBRARY=
option. You can read Version 5 formats, but you cannot write
them.
