25. Case Study 2: Write your own SAS code in SAS programming environment.

Directions

This scenario uses the Certadv.Monsal data set. Write a SAS program that does the following:

• Use PROC FORMAT to create a numeric format that specifies a template for displaying month values.

• If the value is 1 through 12, display the value as a two-digit number (month values 1 through 9 should contain a leading zero).

• If the value is not a number between 1 and 12 inclusive, display the value 'Not a valid month'.

• Name the custom format Monthfmt.

• Use a PROC PRINT step to create a report based on Certadv.Monsal. Apply the Monthfmt custom format to the Month variable.

Test Your Code

How many instances of 'Not a valid month' does your output contain?

Exam Objective

Specify a template using the PICTURE statement within the FORMAT procedure.
