I don't think so, to create formats from a dataset without manipulating it,
unless it contains the required variables(Formatname,start,end[if you
specify a range],label). If your dataset just contains the 2 variables you
mentioned START and DESCRIPTION, then:
Data fmt;
retain fmtname '$school';
set have(rename=(description=label));
keep fmtname start label;
Run;
Proc format cntlin=fmt library=<libref.catalog>;
Run;
