Definition of Custom Formats for States and Sex

This script uses the FORMAT procedure to define mapping rules (VALUE). The 'state_f' format translates geographic codes (12, 25, 27) into US state names. The 'sex_f' format standardizes gender codes (1, 2) and handles missing or unknown values (7, 9).
