Kathy, you should revise the proc format for your code:
 
instead of >6-12, switch the syntax to 6<-12.   the '<-" indicates that 6
is not part of the range.
 
******************SAS Code*******************
data test;          *  Your code - this is fine;
  do i = 1 to 150;
    duration = i;
    output;
  end;
run;
********* Revised Code *****************;
proc format;
  value durf 0-6       = '1'
             6<-12     = '2'
             12<-24    = '3'
             24<-48    = '4'
             48<-120   = '5'
             120<-high = '6'
             ;
 
proc freq data=test; * Your Code again;
  tables duration;
  format duration durf.;
run;
