If you want to change the format, apply a new format. 

 

INPUT/PUT are for type conversions -> character to numeric or numeric to character.

 

format variable 8.2;

Here's a fully worked example.

 

data have;
retain actual sample1 sample3 predict sample2;
set sashelp.prdsal2(obs=20);
sample1=actual;
sample2=predict;
sample3=floor(actual); *Round down to 0 decimal places;

format sample1 8.2;
format sample2 8.;
format sample3 8.2;

keep actual sample1 sample3 predict sample2;
run;

proc print data=have;
run;
