Decimal places for macro variable

Hi all,

below is my code and values.

COde:

%let col8=%sysevalf(&col5+&col6+&col7);

%put &col5. &col6. &col7. &col8.;

log:

%put &col5. &col6. &col7. &col8.;
1.870 1.875 1.895 5.64

But I want 3 decimal places for col8, how can i get that?

Thanks in advance!

%let col8 = %sysfunc(putn(%sysevalf(&col5 + &col6 + &col7), 5.3));
