You can 'format' macro variables using %SYSFUNC function (if you have SAS
6.11+ or 6.09E+)
Example:
PROC format;
VALUE hospid
101='NEW ENGLAND MC'
102= 'MASS GENERAL'
.
.
.
;
RUN;
%LET hosp=101 ;
TITLE "REPORT FOR %SYSFUNC(PUTN(&hosp,hospid.))" ;
or if you using character format $hospid. then
TITLE "REPORT FOR %SYSFUNC(PUTC(&hosp,hospid.))" ;
