Getting "Inf "instead of "." when I divide by 0

Farshid22 — Fri, 26 Mar 2021 12:27:37 GMT

Dear friends,

When I divide a number by 0 in SAS EG I get this "."

Instead of "." I like to get "Inf" or something like this which indicate that I have divided my number by 0

How can I do that?

Best regards

Use the DIVIDE() function.

(edited: I thought something worked but it didn't when I checked it.)

Read this article. This commenter wrote a format that works with DIVIDE().
