Printing trailing zeros on file

SASInd — Mon, 12 Mar 2018 13:33:48 GMT

In my mainframe file I have one numeric field 00000008431.00, I want to print as it is on my file using SAS but no informat in my knowledge is doing that.

Used ZD15.2 (No luck); PD (I want values in normal display format); 15.2 (It is printing without zeros i.e. 8431.00).

Which informat will be useful for this?

Input Desired Output

00000008431.00 00000008431.00

Hello,

informats are for reading values.

Use formats to control how your output is displayed.

data have;
informat x 14.2;
format x z14.2;
input x;

put x;

cards;
00000008431.00
;
run;
