    run;

    Re: questions on sas formating issue.

    Hello Winecodeng,

    Lib SASUSER is a standard SAS library for user files. It is assigned by default.

    Select $airport;
    means that information about character format $airport will be output to sasuser.fmtdata dataset.

    Sincerely,
    SPR
