Very Easy Proc Template Question

Hi All,

I am trying to change the decimals for proc genmod but I am not able to get the template statement to work.

Can someone explain why this won't work. Thanks in advance!

CODE

proc template;

edit Stat.Genmod.ParameterEstimates;

define Estimate;

format = 8.7; end;

define StdErr;

format=8.7; end;

define LowerWaldCL;

format = 8.7; end;

define UpperWaldCL; format = 8.7; end;

end; run;

proc template;

edit stat.genmod.estimates;

define Estimate;

format = 8.7;

end;

define StdErr;

format= 8.7;

end;

define LowerCL;

First did you have something similar to

ods path sasuser.templat(update) sashelp.tmplmst(read);

Otherwise you may be trying to edit the version in SASHELP which you likely shouldn't try to edit.

second, you may need the reference to the parent verison or use edit instead of define

and 8.7 doesn't leave any room for an integer portion so may want 9.7 -> 0.1234567 needs 9 spaces.

and possibly use EDIT instead of define.

EDIT Estimate;

format = 9.7;

parent = Common.ParameterEstimates.Estimate;

end;
