I'm gonna have to go with C. Periods in format names? That's a classic SAS no-no.

Haha, imagine if the answer was 'D' and the LABEL option was missing. That would be a real 'label' fail!

Hold up, this is a trick question! The PAGENO option is totally valid in the OPTIONS statement. I'm going with A.

No way, it's definitely not A. I think it's B) The RUN statement is missing after the FORMAT procedure.

Nah, the real issue here is that the RUN statement is missing after the FORMAT procedure. That's gotta be it.

Hmm, I see. It could also be because the format name contains a period in the VALUE statement.
