Program
This program defines a format called BENEFIT, which differentiates between
employees hired on or before 31DEC1979. The purpose of this program is to indicate
any employees who are eligible to receive a benefit, based on a hire date on or prior to
December 31, 1979. All other employees with a later hire date are listed as ineligible
for the benefit.
Assign two SAS library references (PROCLIB and LIBRARY). Assigning a library
reference LIBRARY is useful in this case because if you use PROC FORMAT, then SAS
automatically searches for informats and formats in any library that is referenced with the
LIBRARY libref.
libname proclib ’SAS-data-library-1’;
libname library ’SAS-data-library-2’;
