DBLOAD has many limitations, like only being able to create a vanilla 1-worksheet workbook, but it does have some customizing abilities. I've never used the FORMAT option, but it looks like this:

PROC DBLOAD DBMS = XLS; PATH = 'pc path'; FORMAT var1 fmtone. var2 $fmttwo. ... ; RUN;

Try it out and let us know. Good luck.
