/**
@file mp_cntlout.sas
@brief Creates a cntlout dataset in a consistent format
@details The dataset produced by proc format in the cntlout option will vary
according to its contents.
When dealing with formats from an ETL perspective (eg in [Data Controller for
SAS](https://datacontroller.io)), it is important that the output dataset
has a consistent model (and compariable values).
This macro makes use of mddl_sas_cntlout.sas to provide the consistent model,
and will left-align the start and end values when dealing with numeric ranges
to enable consistency when checking for differences.
usage:
%mp_cntlout(libcat=yourlib.cat,cntlout=work.formatexport)
@param [in] libcat The library.catalog reference
@param [in] fmtlist= (0) provide a space separated list of specific formats to
extract
@param [in] iftrue= (1=1) A condition under which the macro should be executed
@param [out] cntlout= (work.fmtextract) Libds reference for the output dataset
