Difference between informat and format?

Answer Posted / Deepti Srivastava

In SAS, a Format is used to control the appearance of data when it is displayed or printed. It does not affect the underlying value of the variable. An Informat, on the other hand, is used to tell SAS how to interpret incoming data. It determines how SAS should parse and store a variable based on its format.
