Problem Note 5048: Incorrect output results from PROC FORMAT with the MULTILABEL option
Incorrect output will result from a PROC FORMAT definition when the MULTILABEL option is used
if the value of the assignment is another format, as in the following example:
proc format;
value $state (multilabel)
'AA'-'ZZ'=[$2.]
'AA'-'ZZ'='bb';
run;
There is currently no circumvention for this problem.
