'A' = 96

004 C+
005 A
;
proc print data = deepak.grades;
run;
I get the following output
Obs ID Grade
1 001 .
2 002 .
3 003 .
4 004 .
5 005 .
I don’t understand why Grade shows up as a missing value.
Everything seems fine, including ID $3.
Now, in case I use ID : $3. Or use column input, I get the
desired output.
Kindly help

Answer / deepak
Thanks Kondal,
But why does it not work? If u see there, ID has only 3
columns, and technically it must work without a colon (ID :
$3.). I get a perfct output with a semicolon, but without it
I dont.
Is this something specific about user defined Informats?
Appreciate any help
Deepak

Hi,
you must assign position of Grade variable.you gave a length of id is $3. so you must gave a proper position to Grade variable otherwise it will show the missing.
proc format;
invalue convert 'A-' = 100
'A' = 96
'B+' = 88
'C+' = 76
'F' = 65
;
run;
