When i am using proc means for a variable the one observation is giving 3 and other 2 decimal places in output, how to keep 3 decimal places for all observations.
I believe it's important to mention here that - according to documentation - MAXDEC specifies the maximum number of decimal places only to display the statistics in the printed or displayed output. It has no effect on statistics that are saved in an output data set.
I'm looking for solution to similar problem. Is there any simple way to get the rounded values directly from PROC MEANS?
Well, it's correct that the option maxdec does not work with "output out=" statement.
But if you use "ods output summary=", then the option maxdec works.
