# Formats
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SAS Formats are stored in Catalogs, and are used for in-memory lookup operations. Some formats are available by default, others (custom formats) are maintained seperately.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using Data Controller to manage formats means that it will no longer be necessary to maintain 'CNTLIN' datasets seperately to the main catalog.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Formats will be presented with a new icon (`bolt`), in the same library as other tables (in both the VIEW and EDIT screens):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Viewing a format catalog will always mean that the entire catalog is exported and displayed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Filters will be applied after the export. DDL / excel exports will apply to the export.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The MPE_TABLES for formats will need to be configured with a new LOADTYPE (FMTCATALOG) and specific CLOSE_VARS and BUSKEY values.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Edits to formats will follow the regular approval process, with changes logged in MPE_AUDIT.
