PROC FORMAT IN SAS | SAS GLOBAL OPTIONS SAS TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS VIDEO 4

Informats and formats tell SAS the data's type (character or numeric) and form (such as how many bytes it occupies; decimal placement for numbers; how to handle leading, trailing, or embedded blanks and zeros; and so on). SAS provides informats and formats for reading and writing variables. For a thorough description of informats and formats that SAS provides, see SAS Formats and Informats: Reference.
With informats, you can do the following:
Convert a number to a character string (for example, convert 1 to YES).
Convert a character string to a different character string (for example, convert 'YES' to 'OUI').
Convert a character string to a number (for example, convert YES to 1).
Convert a number to another number (for example, convert 0-9 to 1, 10-100 to 2, and so on).
Note: User-defined informats read-only character data. They can convert character values into real numeric values, but they cannot convert real numbers into characters.
With formats, you can do the following:
Print numeric values as character values (for example, print 1 as MALE and 2 as FEMALE).
Print one character string as a different character string (for example, print YES as OUI).
Print numeric values using a template (for example, print 9458763450 as 945-876-3450).

Format and if both are having different use case.

Can you please help me how to read this data? Here in the row no 4, age is missing, but I am not providing any period(.). I am just making a mistake. is there any way to read?

[@Trenovision]

Here you have to use period while importing data from an external file you can use missover option to handle missing values.

[@saikatde6343]

@@Trenovision yes correct. If we use missover option, it can handle missing values at the end or consecutive missing values till the end. I am not providing any value in the middle of the data. For that reason, I will have to provide a period? Or is there any option in SAS, we can use?
