What is the difference between an informat and a format.
Name three informats or formats.

Answer Posted / gagan deep semwal

An informat is an instruction used to read data values into
a SAS variable.In addition, if a variable has not yet been
defined, SAS uses the informat to determine whether the
variable ought to be numeric or character.

A format is defined as an instruction that SAS uses to
write data values. Formats are used to control the written
appearance of data values. Both informats and formats are
of the form: <$> name <w> . <d>
