Along similar lines. I often use formats/informats for this type of
problem. It would be helpful if Mark described the "big picture" so
we could better understand exactly what he is trying to accomplish. I
expect it is more involved than the example he presented.
data work.control;
retain fmtname 'nm2age' type 'I' hlo 'UJ';
set sashelp.class(keep=name age);
start = upcase(name);
label = age;
run;
proc format cntlin=work.control;
run;
%put NOTE: John%str(%')s age is: %sysfunc(inputN(john,nm2age10.));
