Hi Team,
I am looking for a function in SAS which can count decimal places in a numeric value.
Is anyone aware of any such function ?
Many thanks,
Kaushal
data sample;
input count;
datalines;
1.99999
2.0005
99.0001
1023.9999999
104
;
run;
data smpl2;
set sample;
cc=(scan(count,2,"."));
if cc="" then dcount=0;
else dcount=length(cc);
drop cc;
run;
data sample;
input count;
datalines;
1.99999
2.0005
99.0001
1023.9999999
104
;
run;
data smpl2;
set sample;
cc=(scan(count,2,"."));
if cc="" then dcount=0;
else dcount=length(cc);
drop cc;
run;
thanks
Rgds, Kaushal
reduce code:
data smpl2;
set sample;
cc=lengthn(scan(count,2,"."));
run;
Sureshv: Thank you for this and I used it today. In my search I was surprised that SAS doesn't have a function that would return the decimal precision and that a conversion to text and then a count was required.
