Keeping a leading zero in PROC Report

[camdbean]

Hello all,

I am attempting to run a PROC REPORT and one of my numeric values has a leading zero (0.4253). I am trying to get this to display as 0.43 in my report, but I am unable to keep the leading zero. How do I go about doing this?

CODE - variable in question is Prob

PROC REPORT DATA = Work.Check;
COLUMN Statistic ("Statistical Results" DF Value Prob );
DEFINE Statistic / 'Test';
DEFINE Prob / 'P-Value' ;
DEFINE Value / FORMAT = 3.2;
RUN;

Thank you

The format is to short. The number on the left is the total number of digits you want to be displayed, including separators. So, if you want 0.43 you have to use 4.2 as format.
