I have optained a mix of whole numbers(eg. 1, 2, 3) and non whole numbers (something like 0.12345678, 9.123456) by using proc means. Now in my dataset, I tried using round function, but that rounds only the non whole number (eg 0.1 or 9.1) nut whole numbers stay the same eg.(1, 2, 3).

 

What I want is :

1.0

2.0

3.0

0.1

9.1

 

My code: variable_new= strip(round(variable_old,0.1));

 

ANy help is greatly appreciated.

Have you used round as:

    var = round(var,0.1);

and assign:  format var 5.1;   /* one decimal digit. addapt the length */

 

If you still have issues, post your code.

The round function works correctly.  An integer rounded to 0.1 is that integer.  I suspect that you do not want to round at all.  Rather, use a format like 5.1 (or w.1 for a larger width w) to keep the original precision but display one decimal place.
