Pro tip - start by reading how to post a question.  Explain what you want, using the body of the post to explain this.  A post topic saying make it work is not in the least bit polite or helpful.

 

Taking a rough guess, I would say you want a numeric which is rounded to 2 decimal places from that text, if so:

data want;
  set have;
  want=round(input(a,best.),0.01);
run;
