Numeric Variable integer or float

[SASSLICK001]

Hi All 

How can I find a sas numeric variable whether its an integer or float? If its a floating numeric variable i need to know significant digits existing in the data?

Can someone throw some ideas?

SAS numeric varables are always real number.

If you want to know if the value contained is a whole number, check if int(var) = var.

If num - int( num ) = 0 then do ;
Handle integer case ;
End ;
Else do ;
Handle non- integer case ;
End ;

if (round,value,0.000001) = 123.456789 then...
