The top half of the panel controls the complex level
reporting while the bottom half of the panel controls unit
level reporting.

Complex Level Format Library? - Required.  Defaults to N.
Specify Y to print formats from one of the complex level
(MCOLIB) format catalogs.

Format Catalog:  USERFMT1 ===>  MICSFMTS ===>  USERFMT2 ===>
Required.  Defaults to N. Specify Y for each catalog from
which you want to print formats.

Format Catalog: OTHER ===>
Defaults to blank.  Must be specified if all of the format
catalogs listed above are set to N.  Contains the exact name
of a user format catalog that resides in either the complex
level format library (MCOLIB) or the unit level format
library (MUOLIB).

Print Entire Catalog? - Required only if 'Format Name(s)' is

formats for the format catalogs you have selected for
processing.

Note:  You must specify format names exactly as they appear
in the catalog using the naming conventions required by SAS.

o  Precede names of entries that contain character formats
   with a dollar sign ($).

o  Precede names of entries that contain character informats
   with an at sign (@) and a dollar sign($), for example,
   @$entry-name.

   without a prefix.

o  Precede names of entries that contain numeric informats
   with an at sign (@).

You can use the colon (:) and hyphen (-) wildcard characters
to specify entries.  For example, the following prints all
character formats that begin with cplx.

$cplx:

Unit Level Format Library? - Required.  Defaults to N.
Specify Y to print formats from one unit's (MUOLIB) format
