as.fmt

A generic method for casting objects to
a format. Individual objects will inherit from this function.

Contains a set of functions that can be used to apply
formats to data frames or vectors.  The package aims to provide
functionality similar to that of SAS® formats. Formats are assigned to
the format attribute on data frame columns.  Then when the fdata()
function is called, a new data frame is created with the column data
formatted as specified.  The package also contains a value() function
to create a user-defined format, similar to a SAS® user-defined format.
