Create a temporary data set named scale. The first two variables in the data lines, called BEGIN and END, will be used to specify a range in the format. The third variable in the data lines, called AMOUNT, contains a percentage that will be used as the formatted value in the format. Note that all three variables are character variables as required for PROC FORMAT input control data sets.
