I'm able to round off every decimals EXCEPT for numbers like 0.92, 0.72. Those numbers rounded off to 0 instead of 1. Any ideas to solve it?

You've specified Age as a character variable ($2) but are then trying to apply numeric functions to the variable. Read it in as a number instead and you should be fine. 

 

You may may want to revise your length statement for all your numeric variables and remove the extra $ before the length.

Read in Age as a numeric variable and still use the round function like

 

data mydata;
   input Name $ Age;
   datalines;
Bill 12.4
Carlos 35.7
Monique 0.12
Peter 0.78
;

data roundedData;
   set mydata;
   IntAge = Round(Age);
run;
