Creating Custom Format for Cylinders

The script starts by defining a SAS^© library 'dats' pointing to a specific directory. It then uses the FORMAT procedure to create a numeric format 'cylf' that associates the numbers 4, 6, and 8 with explicit textual labels. This format is permanently stored in the 'carformats' catalog of the 'dats' library.

Data Analysis

Type : CREATION_INTERNE
