specifies one or more variables whose format you want to
assign, change, or remove. If you want to disassociate a format with a variable,
list the variable last in the list with no format following:
format x1-x3 4.1 time hhmm2.2 age;
- format
-
specifies a format to apply to the variable or variables
listed before it. If you do not specify a format, the FORMAT statement removes
any format associated with the variables in variable-list.

To remove all formats from a data set, use
the ATTRIB Statement and the _ALL_ keyword. |
