Subject:      Proc FORMAT Question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

How do I get Proc FORMAT to output a null or empty string?

Proc Format Value  1 = 'Some String'
2 = ''
3 = 'Other String'
; run ;

This code prints one single or double quote, depending on my choice
of delimiters.  I can't use a 1-position blank string, because the
output doesn't align properly.  Alignment of 1X 2X 3X should be like this...
Some StringX
X
Other StringX

Not like this
Some StringX
  X
Other StringX

Thanks for your help
