Using a user-defined format with the PUT function in an SQL procedure query might result in the following note:
NOTE: Optimization for the PUT function was skipped because the referenced format, format-name, does not have an OTHER= range defined.
This note occurs when you are using a SAS/ACCESS® product and the user-defined format used in the query does not contain an OTHER= category.
The note is just an indication that the query could not be passed down to the database and was instead processed by SAS®. The query will generate correct results. You can ignore the note.
