Create formats from a SAS dataset

shiyiming

如题：如何从SAS文件中生成proc format形式。

Example 1:

data test;
  input a b $;
datalines;
1 female
0 male
;
run;

Solution1

proc format;
  value gender 1 = "female"
               0 = "male";
run;
proc format;
  select gender;
run;

Solution2:

data fmt_dataset;
  retain fmtname "lgender";
  set test ;
  start = a;
  label = b;
run;
proc format cntlin = fmt_dataset fmtlib;
  select lgender;
  run;

但是如果是一个大SAS文件，包括所有 code 和 label，如何简便生成format?

Example 2:

data test;
  input a b c$;
datalines;
gender 1 female
gender 0 male
area 1 China
area 2 Europe
area 3 North America
area 4 South America
;
run;

??? -- 生成一个 gender, 一个area, format...
谢谢。

[code:34da0]data test;
  input fmtname$ start label$;
  datalines;
gender 1 female
gender 0 male
area 1 China
area 2 Europe
area 3 North America
area 4 South America
;
run;

proc format cntlin=test library=work;
run;[/code:34da0]
不知道为何你非要用SELECT选项?
