Changing Significant Digits used in Proc GLM

Hi! I would like to tune the number of significant digits used inside the proc glm statement as the default is not sensitive enough. I've seen there is a format option in the code statement, so I've been trying to do it as seen below in my example, but getting the following error. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

ERROR 22-322: Expecting a format name.

ERROR 200-322: The symbol is not recognized and will be ignored.

proc glm data=train noprint;
	class a b c;
	model x= a b c d;
	code format = 20.7 file='control.sas';
quit;


data controlScore;
	set test;
	%include 'control.sas';
run;

Use Fw.d

code format = F20.7 file='control.sas';
