Is there a way to get SAS to round a number (ex. sum, product, quotient) to the nearest whole number, nearest tenth, nearest hundredth, etc. after adding, multiplying, or dividing a series of numbers?
Fully agree with @PeterClemmensen
Round to the Nearest Whole Number
newvar = round(var,1)
Round to the Nearest Tenth
newvar = round(var,.1)
Round to the Nearest Hundredth
newvar = round(var,.01)

Use the Round Function?
And one of the fun things with the SAS Round function is you can round to other multiples such as 7 or 0.3 if that is needed.
newvar = round(var, 7);
