numeric formatting datastep

Q1983 — Mon, 19 Dec 2016 19:22:09 GMT

data test(keep=pct);

set test1;

run;

sample output

pct

1000

5000

150

By default the pct comes out as above. I need for the results to display as follows:

100.00

50.00

1.50

Divide by 100 and format as F6.2.

Pct= pct/100;

Format pct F6.2;

Or use a custom picture format that involves MULT.
