The copyFormats script can simplify the process of importing user-defined formats that are created in SAS^®9. This script converts the formats to a structure that SAS Visual Analytics 8.1 or 8.2 can use. If you have SAS formats in a catalog and would like to use them in SAS Visual Analytics, this script loads the formats into the server and places them in the format search path for all users. SAS^® Environment Manager is the recommended method with SAS Visual Analytics 8.2 because it can load the user-defined formats.
