Why the x and xy value is with 3 decimals even after using format having 2 decimals?

[devarayalu]

7	DATA test;
8	LENGTH a $6 ;
9	a="11345";  x=INPUT(a,10.2); xy=INPUT(a,10.); output;

10   a="11.345"; x=INPUT(a,10.2); xy=INPUT(a,10.); output;

11   put _all_;

a=11.345 x=11.345 xy=11.345 _ERROR_=0 _N_=1

You are using an informat, not a format.  The SAS documentation on the w.d informat provides the explanation, here is the link.
