<P>Hi Kfran,</P>
<P>in order to advise you on the informat you would want to use, more information about your varaible is required. Variable characteristics must be considered in order to choose the appropriate informat. Does your raw data contain numbers with commas, dollar signs, or other elements that would render it unsuitable as a SAS numeric variable. The informat you choose will be dependant on knowing this.</P>
