set decimal point in proc fcmp

Hello,

I'd like to know the way of setting decimal point in proc fcmp.

The following didn't work well.

(simplified example)

proc fcmp outlib= ....

function decimalp(a, b);

c = put(a, b);

return(c);

endsub;

run;

options cmplib=...;

data test;

a = 123.456;

b = 8.1;

c = decimalp(a,b);

run;

Thank you,

Hide.

You need function putN(source,format,w,d) and you won't need to write your own function.
