Hi,

is there a percent format with comma instead of point ?

For example the percentn format show me this: -17.1%, but we need -17,1% format.

Exist this kind of format?

Thanks

Hi @Rakeon,

You can use the NLPCTw.d format (or one of the related NLPCT... formats) with a suitable LOCALE setting (possibly your default).

280  %put %sysfunc(getoption(locale));
DE_DE
281
282  data _null_;
283  x=-0.171;
284  put x NLPCT6.1;
285  run;

-17,1%
NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):
      real time           0.01 seconds
      cpu time            0.01 seconds


286
287  options locale=EN_US;
288
289  data _null_;
290  x=-0.171;
291  put x NLPCT6.1;
292  run;

-17.1%
