The preferred method
for making user-defined formats available to a SAS Application Server
is to name the format catalog formats.sas7bcat and to place it in
SAS-config-dir/Lev1/SASApp/SASEnvironment/SASFormats.
For more information about using user-defined formats, see
SAS
Intelligence Platform: Data Administration Guide.
SAS Visual Data Builder
can use existing user-defined formats. The
Format column
displays the user-defined format name. However, if you change the
format, then you cannot restore the original user-defined format.
